...portrayal of lower class sordidness and misery, The Young and the Damned has no great social message; it is instead a vivid portrayal of rottenness under the log of a Mexican city. In this role it succeeds remarkably. Luis Bunuel has mixed elements disgusting enough to sicken, with others realistic enough to frighten. The result is a depressing, albeit excellent movie. It contains little of the traditionally tragic. Its themes are frustration, unnatural relationships, and violence; its heroes, street urchins, blind beggars, and murderers...
...Vivid Dream. Addressing the Association of Land-Grant Colleges and Universities at the Statler Hotel one day last week, Ike said: "There is no dream . . . so vivid as the dream of peace, lasting peace." One essential to the realization of the dream, he said, is "understanding of knowledge rather than mere knowledge."

There was strength in tanks and guns, he added, but there was no lasting peace in arms...

Last summer Sestieri uncovered a small, completely buried building, made a hole in its roof and lowered himself into the stagnant dimness. He was in the central shrine of Hera, Goddess of Fertility, and patron of Paestum. Jars and vases held...
...other vivid, election-generated expulsions of this century were due to the large campaign chests that Senators Frank Smith of Illinois and William Vare of Pennsylvania acquired in the 1926 election. Smith, for example was nominating chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission which controls the state's utilities. He accepted $203,000 from one of the state's largest privately-owned power companies, and for this violation of the Hatch Act was denied the right to sit as Senator...
