Died. Alene Stern Erlanger, 75, dog fancier and breeder of championship poodles, who, as civilian consultant to the quartermaster general from 1942 to 1945, was responsible for the formation and training of America's infantry scout-dog platoons (the K-9 Corps); in Elberon...
...planned or done in his short tenure, Finch gives promise of being a good, perhaps even a great general in domestic battle. On the surface he is super-ordinary, the all-American boy grown up. Blond, blue-eyed, ruggedly good-looking at six feet, he has been an Eagle Scout, prizewinning college debater, Marine officer.

...soliloquies are delivered as if Hamlet were in desperate need of geriatric drugs. Rabb is too monotonous for eloquence and too weary for anger. The rest of the cast is almost uniformly inept.

Clifford Luyk, 27, a 6-ft. 8-in. center from the University of Florida who was lured away from the New York Knicks by a touring Madrid scout, and Wayne Brabender, 23, from Montevideo, Minnesota, have both become Spanish citizens. "It was not for political reasons or anything like that," says Brabender. "But I like the life here and have lots of friends." More typical of the U.S. players abroad is Brabender's teammate, Miles Aiken, 27, a center...
...wild Apaches have taken to the hills, and after them clops the cavalry including a bony scout named Sam Varner (Gregory Peck). In the ensuing roundup, one face is out of place: a blonde woman, Sarah Carver (Eva Marie Saint), prisoner of the Indians for some ten years. Out of pity-and maybe a pinch of desire-Varner takes Sarah and her half-breed son to live on his New Mexico ranch...
