Khrushchev's new retreat could, from a U.S. viewpoint, only be called progress. But there remained room for much more progress. Still in Cuba were Russian nationals-and for the first time, Kennedy described them as "ground combat units." More importantly, when Kennedy had first announced his quarantine of Cuba, he made it perfectly plain that on-site inspection was the only way to make sure that Soviet missiles had really been removed. But Castro, despite Khrushchev's pledge to let U.N. inspectors into Cuba, remained obdurate. Therefore, said Kennedy at his press conference, the U.S., even while...
...second scene, is suddenly reduced and piteously destroyed? It is Strindberg who failed, or did we make our judgment on the most obvious manifestations of the old man's character? More to the point, when the student, who has been so much of our own naive viewpoint for so long, suddenly turns on the girl in the final sequences and destroys her by his own willful misapprehension of her world picture, should we blame Strindberg for inconsistency, or pay better attention to his frightfully economical dramaturgy? By attempting the latter, it is possible to discern the terrible logic...
...seasoned theater hands are prone, that of substituting showmanly expertise for solid substance. Despite a disclaimer, the character of President Stephen Decatur Henderson (Robert Ryan) is fairly obviously modeled on Ike, and his First Lady (Nanette Fabray) could double for Jackie Kennedy.

...session. This was still the overwhelmingly Democratic Congress of which President Kennedy recently boasted: "No Congress in recent years has made a record of progress and compassion to match this." But Kennedy must have been smiling through his tears as it slowly drew to a close. From an Administration viewpoint, the 87th in 1962 could only be considered an obstinate, balky, frequently frustrating beast. It gave Kennedy one great victory and a few smaller ones; it was marked by a great batch of half-loaf compromises; and it turned the Administration down cold on many of its key requests...
...absence of forthright denials, the story-and the rumors-grew. Last March, The Realist, a shabby Greenwich Village periodical, published the fact of the Blauvelt genealogical entry as an "expose." So, a bit later, did Birmingham's antiSemitic, anti-Negro circular, The Thunderbolt ("The White Man's Viewpoint"). So, in June, did The Winrod Letter, a oamphlet put out by the Rev. Gordon Winrod of Little Rock. Racist organizations in the South and crackpot groups everywhere photostated these pieces and sent them out as junk mail by the scores of thousands; it is estimated that at least...
