Remarkably, there was no tension, no electric charge of uncertainty. The House debate on the civil rights bill had ended, the Southern holdouts had accepted the inevitable, the civil rights advocates were quietly confident. On the floor, nobody bothered to keep score. Republican Minority Leader Charles Halleck sat quietly relaxed; Ohio's William McCulloch, the G.O.P. floor manager for the bill, dawdled with his yellow pencil; the South's floor manager, Louisiana's Edwin Willis, scribbled on a note pad; New York's Emanuel Celler, the Democrats' floor manager, even left the chamber during...
...Baltimore's Billy O'Dell, 27, who had a fine E.R.A. of 2.94 last year and a 10-12 record.

Once inside, the cops informed their victims-refugees from a score of nations-that they had 20 minutes to dress and pack for an enforced trip to Corsica. At the request of Soviet officials, the French government had decided to clear Metropolitan France of "potential assassins" before Nikita Khrushchev arrived in Paris. And presumably they would now have to wait out Khrushchev...
...film only casually resembles the Broadway hit musical of 1953. To begin with, several of the songs are different. Since the Cole Porter score produced no more than two memorable tunes (I Love Paris, It's All Right with Me), Producer Jack Cummings shrewdly decided to ring in some old Porter favorites (You Do Something to Me, It Was Just One of Those Things, Let's Do It). But the old favorites don't make much sense in their new context, and, anyway, they are badly sung. Some of the dances are different, too: the cancan...
