...script writers apparently turned this one out with two objects in mind: 1) to give Judy Holliday another opportunity to display her talent as a comedienne, and 2) to present a fairly thorough view of the ups and downs of seven years of married life for a struggling young couple in the city. The results of their endeavors is a rather uneven picture one that never quite bridges the gap between its amusing and serious situations. It relies heavily on the abilities of its leading players to make the best of routine episodes and gags of the bathroom bedroom...
...licensing authorities. What it did find was a shocking lack of law to protect the riding public. It recommended that New York, now trailing other states in these matters, should provide by law that: 1) every applicant for a license to drive public vehicles must have a thorough physical examination, including an electrocardiogram and electroencephalogram, 2) the examinations must be repeated every year, 3) nobody who has ever had a heart ailment or been diagnosed as psychotic may get such a license...
...sunny warmth unequaled by his northern competitors. The Herald Tribunes Virgil Thomson ended his review with a burst of continental enthusiasm. "Evviva Vivaldi! And let's have more of him." There is plenty more to hear, and the Vivaldi boom shows every sign of settling down into a thorough, long-range revival...
...second fatal explosion in three months in a U.S. hospital (TIME, Feb. 18). As before, no one knew immediately just what touched off the gas, though static electricity at some point near the anesthetic circuit was accepted as the general cause. City hospital officials began a thorough investigation last week, but one fact was established immediately: though Cumberland had taken careful precautions (cotton gowns for the surgeons, metal chains on the anesthetic machine), its operating-room floor was tile, and lacked a grounded grid of conductive material, e.g., copper, to drain off static electricity. The U.S. Bureau of Mines...
...understanding the courses. Beyond this, it rests on the assumption that essays can be as worthwhile as many instructors claim. There is no refuting the statistic's importance; if papers do not help students understand a course, they are valueless. But it is clear that essays afford opportunities for thorough research and original thought, and that their failure indicates poor administration. If papers are assigned thick and fast, and if their topics do not require more than a regurgitation of facts, they are bound to be inconsequential. The Council Report applied the same reasoning to courses which assign so many...
