...production is not quite all of a piece. Thirteen-year-old Iris Mann (The Innocents) plays the brat with remarkable skill, and more convincingly than brilliantly stagy Florence McGee, a grownup, did in 1934. And, as in 1934, Katherine Emmet is impressive as the grandmother. As the schoolmistresses, however, Kim Hunter and-despite very good moments-Patricia Neal display a certain lack of shading in their roles and of full impact in certain of their scenes. But if such limitations stress how much the acting can mean to a play, the whole evening proves how much a good play...
...Port of New York is a majestic natural harbor endowed with deep rivers, estuaries and bays and rimmed by 770 miles of profitable piers and docks. Thirteen years ago New York handled 22% of all the tonnage shipped to & from the U.S. Today tonnage has slumped to 15%. Principal reason: the New York waterfront is the realm of hoods and racketeers, where a payoff is as casual as a Christmas card, where whole truckloads of merchandise can vanish, where watchmen never make an arrest, and where mobsters recruit musclemen who are still serving time in Sing Sing...

...dark and unseen hills for unseen miles around lay thousands of hidden armed men, breathing, staring, listening, waiting. Once in a great while, far away in some high ravine, a machine gun pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-popped, and then stopped to hear its own echo. Thirteen U.S. Marines listened to it with odd gratitude as they felt their way, single file, through a black no man's land of paddy-fields. When the echoes died, they could hear nothing but the sound of their own breathing and the nerve-racking scuff of their own missteps...
Criticism of Governor Dever's administration, with the usual political generalities, has come from those who seem loathe to examine his record of accomplishment. It is understandable that his opponents do not wish to admit that since Governor Dever assumed leadership almost thirteen thousand veterans housing units have been built. Nor do they wish to acknowledge that the greatly overcrowded, understaffed hospitals have become agencies of hope by the addition, under Dever's administration, of six thousand new hospital beds, increased and more efficient personnel and the introduction of the best modern medical facilities and methods. They are reluctant...
