Barnes entered the Justice Department amid predictions that many of the 144 antitrust cases inherited from the Truman Administration would be dropped by the Republican Administration. Barnes set that notion to rest. He has disposed of 107 of the inherited cases-but only eleven were dismissed by motion of the Government.

Particularly good is Henry Holmes, as Harold Steadfast, the indefatiguable buddy of Truman Pendennis. Preston Brown's spoof of New England economy and conservatism is touching with his flawless Marlborough Street accent. Timothy Gates, as the angel child's aged mother, has little opportunity to extemporize, though his exit song is delightfully dead-pan and relaxed...
