...House majority was simply against them. As for the charge that McCormack's knowledge of foreign affairs is sketchy, not even he would claim to be an expert (he has never been outside the U.S.); by instinct, he has followed the internationalist policies of Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy...
...July 1945 on the New Mexican desert, William L. Laurence of the New York Times was the only reporter there-although security prevented him from printing a word for a month. On Aug. 9, 1945, he rode with the B-29 bomber that obliterated Nagasaki. He once talked Harry Truman into sending a clandestine Government expedition to Africa, in quest of a rare plant from which cortisone could be produced.

Cutting back to the action makes for a staccato "new cinema" pace-and for irony, tons and tons of it. Foreman likes his irony set to music. While troop trucks slog through snow, he cuts to a slide announcing: THE MANAGEMENT OF THIS THEATER WISHES EVERYBODY A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR 1945. EVERYBODY SING! Later, there is mawkish sentiment when some gentle British folk invite Peppard...
