...weekly that exemplifies British journalism at somewhere near its literary and critical best and prejudiced worst is the New Statesman and Nation. It is the biggest, orneriest and-in its rear parts-the smoothest of British literary weeklies. Since 1931, the New Statesman's circulation has soared from 14,830 to 87,156 (including...
Maddening Muddle. The New Statesman is beloved, as Editor Kingsley Martin admits, by a "very high percentage of readers who say . . . that they read the front political part last and agree with it least."

But I am still able to cope with those fellows [in Washington], and I'll keep telling them what I think...
...lusting savages who whoop endlessly across the U.S. screen, its Indians are proud, dignified warriors with their own cultural tradition, a stern code of honor and a justified hatred of the white invaders. Their tribal chief, Cochise (well played by Jeff Chandler), is an able strategist and a wise statesman. The story works up such sympathy and respect for him and his tribe, and such distrust of their ignorant, arrogant enemies, that most moviegoers will be delighted whenever another paleface bites the dust...
