...other hand, the line's big-city strips are long and smooth, and the terminals abound with electronic landing equipment, radar and comforts for passengers. Moscow's Victorian-style Vnukovo Airport compares with some of the best in the West, houses a transient hotel and a nursery with toys and cots for the tots...
...motion picture is a charming combination of satire, whimsy, and melodrama. As Crichton, Kenneth More is proper--yet moving. Cecil Parker is a blusteringly good Lord Loam and Sally Howes is not only beautiful, but acts, too.

Best guess on who persuaded Ike to plead Dirksen...
...distance events, the picture is somewhat brighter. In Reider, sophomore Ed Martin, and cross country captainelect Dyke Benjamin, McCurdy has a strong, smooth-riding trio who can be counted on to score high against any opponent. Moreover, junior Willie Thompson rates only slightly behind these three...
