...best young actress in America. A European director calls her "one of the few great actresses of the age." The critics, forgetting their normal caution, have noted her "enormous range," her "incomparable sensibility," her "genius." Her fellow actors agree. Helen Hayes has solemnly passed on to her the handkerchief that Sarah Bernhardt gave to Julia Marlowe -sure symbol of her succession as first lady of the American theater.

Arkansas' Democratic Senator John McClellan, chairman of the Permanent Investigations Subcommittee, leaned forward in his chair, draping himself over his desk.
