...weakest positions last year are again sore spots this season. Without much in experience at ends, Jordan brought former quarterback Phil Haughey in to play the position left vacant. In pre-season practice, Haughey has been very encouragaing to the coaching staff, but he is known to be fragile, and an injury would really hurt the Crimson. Tom Hooper will play the other...
...fresh rhythms of the galloping campaign. Supporters of both parties were eager to be sold, and so were the independents. In many big cities, where voter registration was completed or still continuing, the totals foretold a bigger turnout in November than ever before-and therein lay a Republican sore point. For although figures were significantly higher for both Republicans and Democrats, the Democratic Party strength was increasing in many critical areas faster than the Republican.

...sore point in Canadian-U.S. relations in recent years has been the reluctance of U.S. firms to let Canadian investors buy stock in their profitable Canadian subsidiaries.

But that's all over now. Life is wonderful. "That gum of yours is going to be sore," the dentist blandly concludes...
...plot has something to do with Mitchum's search into the past of his late employer who, it appears, was a big-moola blackmailer. Mitchum chases (and is chased) all over Europe before he even digs up this sore-thumb fact, while the blackmail victims-quislings who never quisled because Hitler never got around to invading their countries-earnestly try to bump Mitchum off their vile, traitorous scent. In all, Foreign Intrigue rates as the murkiest black-and-white color film of the year, lacking only a chase through sewers to lend it a more poignant aroma...
