...past seven years has been, under the domination and control of a small group of men . . . With intent only to annoy, harass and humiliate us, they denied our humble petition for leave to have our usual separate parade . . . We can bear no more. Therefore, with heavy hearts and unconcealed sorrow, appealing to the Supreme Judge of all men for the rectitude of our intentions, we renounce our association with the American Legion...
...long way from affection: at the Louvre it is not the tourists but the Mona Lisa who smiles. Van Gogh had more passion, and for a time his popularity surpassed even Renoir's, but Van Gogh's best pictures are explosive compounds of joy and sorrow, more calculated to disturb than to please.

...judge ruled that Hawaii is "a geographical part" of the U.S., thus Alien Haymes did not re-enter the U.S. illegally after a visit to Honolulu in 1953, when he was wooing his present, fourth wife, Cinemactress Rita Hayworth.

It "hampers," he said, "the lessening of international tension." As for Russia, he proclaimed, its policy is Lenin's: "The possibility of a peaceful coexistence and economic competition of states regardless of social and state systems...
...hairy tenor after another in scenes from Carmen, La Bohème, II Trovatore and Samson et Dalila. In the final fourth, with the loyal support of her husband (Glenn Ford), she grimly fights off her affliction. Somehow, the film trails vaguely away from the sense of real-life sorrow and courage which inspired it. Instead, the audience is left with a tantalizing impression that if the heroine had stopped singing and stayed home with her husband as a good wife should, she would never have got sick-and this movie would never have been made...
