...biggest objection to "Command Decision" as a film is the way it handles war fought on the executive level. The screen is filled with maps, charts, tables of plane losses, and movies-within-movies of the latest German jet-fighters.

This conference on "The Churches and World Order" was the third such church discussion of inter national affairs to be sponsored by the Federal Council.
