...wondering what the stock market would do next.* But, as it does at many Bobby-and-Ethel parties, the 40-ft. by 16-ft. swimming pool took over. As a kind of gimmick, Ethel had thrown a 2-ft.-wide bridge across the width of the pool. Upon it, smack in the middle, were a table and two chairs. At one moment, Ethel was sitting there with John Glenn. Then Glenn was sitting there alone-while Ethel was floundering about in the water, bright red evening gown and all. Later, no one seemed quite able (or willing) to remember...
...merely serve as convenient targets for the Reds. Says Harkins: "You cannot put the whole country in strategic hamlets."

Gruen has covered the sunlit mall with a handsomely structured louvered ceiling and has air-conditioned the whole area. Surrounding this central area are about...
...most part, Mr. Willman turn in fine performances. Mr. Aubrey starts out fine, but since he only has one expression and one tone of voice, you get sick of him, and by the end of the play you would give the price of an orchestra seat to smack him in the face. Louise Latham is terrible as the girl's friend and history teacher, but her part is so stupid it doesn't really matter. Miss Crane is the worst of all as the mother; rarely have I seen anyone who was so obviously acting...
