Japanese Army youngsters thought they were killing Premier Okada when they were actually killing his brother-in-law, a Japanese Samurai who bravely pretended to be the Premier...
These Three may presage a year in which child actresses will provide their own antidote to Shirley Temple and, barring the unforeseeable, should win Author Hellman next year's Academy prize for adaptation.

Mr. Howard's point was that they are not fulfilled. Comrade Stalin's rebuttal was by implication that it would be absurd for the Soviet Union to do what...
