Dean Whitlock said yesterday that Kane was "a man of tremendous integrity." "He had a very friendly, personal approach--not show-offy or egotistical or arrogant," Whitlock said. "He was just a quiet, helpful, nice guy with a real vigor and concern about people...
Tangible Results. Troy's strength as a muckraker rests not in his prose but in his grasp of Oklahoma affairs and his vigor in finding new facts.

Miss Ball has been molded over the years into some sort of national monument, and she performs like one too. Her grace, her timing, her vigor have all vanished. When she is photographed at close range, the image goes soft, indicating that the lens was smeared with Vaseline and shrouded in gauze. The other actors in the movie are clear enough on their own. But when they step into a shot with...
