...Michael Clayton Hutton; produced by John C. Wilson & the Messrs. Shubert) is a far better thriller after two acts than after three. Though it comes to a thoroughly bad end, it adds up to a fairly good evening.

Not even the most extreme of U.S. military now contend that the U.S. should still have such...
Then three federal judges* made unhappy Tom Clark even more unhappy. When a summary of the FBI and Star reports had been shown to them, the judges agreed that they had advised against grand jury action at the time. But they disagreed with Clark that that had been a valid reason for closing the case. They had all expected further investigation...
