After the long drought, the rain had a great impact on both man and the creatures of field and stream. During a storm in Oklahoma City, a flock of wild ducks mistook a wet runway at Municipal Airport for a body of water, and some of them cracked up on landing. In the drought-disaster areas, everyone knew that one rain does not break a drought, but farmers and townsfolk alike drew a deep, fresh breath and hoped. The rain was too late to help this year's crops, but in many areas it settled the blowing topsoil, helped...
Mayor Schreiber will hold office until December 1954. His biggest headaches: 1) 208,000 unemployed out of a total population of 2,000,000, 2) a constant stream of refugees fleeing from the East zone, 3) a threat by the Socialists, Berlin's largest party, to go into active opposition.

Against a background of urban England, Oliver, as Edward Bare, plays a limey opportunist who, for a chance to travel abroad, kills one wife and marries a second.

It is this performance which is primarily responsible for keeping the play...
