...Girl Friday. Wise-cracks have never flown faster or more furiously across the screen. And these lines are beauts, lifted from the classic (and unendingly resurrected) play, "The Front Page" by Hecht and MacArthur, and adapted here by Charles Lederer. Rosalind Russell shows her talent for comedy better in this one than in any other film she ever did; her Hildy Mason is just what the movie stereotype of the street-wise professional woman with romanticism buried,...breathing, deep down inside should be. And Cary Grant, as the editor who has already gone a romantic round one with this woman...
...writing about sexual love, Warren seems to take great pleasure in letting down his literary credentials. He can be romantically Wagnerian or barn yard raunchy. Orchestrating Jed and Rozelle's love affair, he is wise enough to know that passion thrives on obstacles-the more, the greater the passion.

...have, at the instruction of the federal mediator handling the negotiations, staged a search for a third party to help resolve the reorganization problems. Yet from the start University and union officials have apparently held different views of the type of intermediary needed to solve the problem. While Henry Wise '18, attorney for the Police Association, has called for a "blue-ribbon panel" of independent experts to study the morale issue, Edward W. Powers, associate general counsel for employee relations, will state only that the University intends to engage an organization with "considerable resources" and a "background in dealing with...
