...Negro's demand for equal rights now. Last year about a dozen priests took leave-more quietly than Coffield-from the archdiocese. Despite this clerical unrest, Mclntyre-a prince of the church subject only to the orders of the Pope-has the power, and doubtless the will, to weather the protests...
...indignities of exile on a reservation, who in 1878 fought and starved and struggled through a 1,500-mile journey from Oklahoma's Indian Territory to their homeland in eastern Montana. En route, with U.S. Army units ever at their heels, they were bedeviled by bad weather, bitter dissension, and the white man's cruelty. In this wayward, 3-hr. movie version, Director John Ford dehydrates history and tosses in some sappy ideas of his own.

The item about Russian children using the stiffly frozen body of a German soldier as a sled makes a one-sentence summary of the horror...
...sentence to the three-to-four-week delay of the attack on Russia that was caused by Yugoslav and Greek resistance in the spring of 1941, although that delay may well have been the most important single factor in the German failure (by 15 miles and some bad weather) to capture Moscow before winter...
