...concerned by the sharp taste of his "sour stomach." In most cases, this is a minor matter, and the result of gulping food while under emotional tension. A classic case is that of Wall Street brokers, who eat on their feet during midday trading. The cure is to stop eating, which is easy, and to calm down, which is not. Antacids may speed relief...
None of this is apt to stop economists from worrying about inflation, even though natural market forces are also working to keep prices in line. U.S. factories are still operating at 83% of capacity, which rules out pressures for price increases from over-demand. Industry has either been able to absorb its costs through higher efficiency, or else-as in the case of the battle for the fuel market among oil, coal and gas -is caught in the kind of competition that produces price cuts. Besides, prosperous consumers tend to trade up to the better models that produce more money...
...treated a gun as a symbol-instead of an instrument-who was not fundamentally depraved. When such an addict of romantic violence appears in politics mouthing left-wing slogans, are we to deny the insights of experience for the nostalgia of a phrase?"

Its passengers are the usual assemblage of harassed or abrasive or mysterious strangers. Most objectionable of the lot is José Ferrer as a famous newsman with a nose for international incidents. Sure enough, an incident occurs when a French nurse (Nicole Courcel) helps a frightened refugee to jump aboard the train. Thus a U.S. lieutenant (Sean Flynn), commanding officer of the train, is caught between the quadripartite treaty and the Brotherhood of Man. When the Soviets...
Instead of doing anything, Flynn just stands there. Meanwhile Stop Train 349, which might have made a sizzling topical melodrama, is sidetracked by flaccid direction, routine performances, and a script that turns people into points of view. The biggest jolt is pitting Errol Flynn's tall, handsome but impassive son against the Communist menace, and letting the Reds get the best of it. In this generation, Hollywood's good guys appear to be all buckle and no swash...
