...these statements about Dow are true. But my overriding impression was that Dow is a world unto itself; moulder of its employees' minds rather than sum total of them, creator of its environment rather than occupier of it, and would-be fulfiller of all the spiritual and material needs of its constituents...
...sum, Simon and Co. haven't really made a musical out of The Apartment--not yet, anyway. They've been able to work songs in here and there--some knockout numbers among them--but when the plot descends into the nitty gritty of suicide, recovery, redemption and love triumphant, the book and score don't mesh.

Brownell set the sum that Hughes should pay TWA at $137.6 million. His report will now go to Federal Judge Charles Metzner, who is expected to in corporate its findings into a final judgment that will probably be handed down within the next two or three months...
