...main listening post on China is also in Mongolia, and Peking has begun to speak derisively of Mongolia as a Russian "colony." The Soviet Union enjoys military superiority everywhere along the border. The Chinese airfields nearest to the Ussuri fighting point, for example, are at least 250 miles away; within that radius, Russia has 50 airfields. Russian pilots on reconnaissance missions constantly overfly the outward few miles of Chinese territory. Some of the Soviet units stationed along the border are equipped with rockets, and nearly all have the latest and best Russian guns and military vehicles. Even in the contest...

Born Spangler Arlington Brugh, Taylor broke into movies in 1934 and within three years had appeared in 15 features; his fans flocked to see him in such films as Waterloo Bridge, Bataan and Quo Vadis. In later years, Taylor won critical as well as popular acclaim for such workmanlike stints as the mental patient in 1947's High Wall.
