...their wedding, who regularly spends weekends with the Kennedys at Glen Ora. "The President is not a source of mine," insists Bartlett. But other Washington newsmen-doubting that those weekends are spent entirely talking about old times-look at Bartlett's work as a conscious or subconscious mirror of Kennedy thinking. "If anybody else had written that piece but Bartlett," says a White House aide, "nothing would have been said...
From Britain came a mighty roar. Prime Minister Harold Macmillan suggested that Acheson "has fallen into an error which has been made by quite a lot of people in the course of the last 400 years, including Philip of Spain, Louis XIV, Napoleon, the Kaiser, and Hitler." The Daily Mirror noted that Britain had been "written off" by another American in 1940 - "the rich, fainthearted Mr. Joseph Kennedy, Ambassador to the Court of St. James's in the days of Dunkirk."

...MacLaine and Mitchum. On Broadway, Anne Bancroft opened her veins and transfused the audience with hot red gouts of life and laughter; in the film, MacLaine turns on her talent like a spigot, and out comes a cooler flow of charm and humor. On Broadway, Henry Fonda was a mirror skillfully held to reflect the heroine; in the film, Mitchum is just another blank wall in her cold-water flat. Still and all, in the passage from Broadway to Hollywood, not too much of the Gibson has been spilled...
