From an Electoral College standpoint, the new distribution, with its ten added votes in California and Michigan, gives normally Republican states an electoral gain while Democrats show a slight loss, reductions in much of the Solid South balancing other increases.

...Progress, though slight, is definitely being made. The average rate of the pulse has diminished, and it is less easily disturbed by outside influences.

It might, at slight expense, have been made in Hollywood, for nothing much is done with Roman street scenes and most of the best shots are interiors.
