...real danger in the 1957 Republican split is that the Old Guard's noisy attack makes it seem wider than it is. "Some Republicans," says conservative Columnist David Lawrence, "mistakenly assume the wave of criticism is a tide, and instead of battling it, they swim with its political currents." By taking the necessary political measures, Dwight Eisenhower can place the Old Guard revolt in its proper light. Only then can the Republican Party present to the voters its strongest argument for election: the Eisenhower record as a national leader...
...more interesting theme than Stakhanovism. The film's heroine, a Bolshevik sniperette, fresh from mowing down 40 White Russians in the 1917 Revolution's aftermath, finds herself marooned on a Caspian isle with a handsome Czarist officer. Peeling off their wet clothing after their swim to shore, the ill-starred couple falls head-over-Hegel in love. Inevitably, however, when a boat heaves up to rescue the decadent nobleman, the trigger-happy lady sadly perceives her Marxist duty, hauls out her gun and chalks up her beloved as The Forty-First...
Early Start. Most of the visiting swimming coaches spent their spare time in Melbourne last fall trailing their hosts with notebook and stopwatch, trying to learn the Aussies' secrets. The Russians even tried an eight-course dinner-and-pumping session aboard the Soviet liner Gruzia. But the Aussies had nothing to hide.

Once a youngster can keep his head above the surface, he can join one of 450 A.S.U. sponsored clubs, where competent coaches will teach him free...
...Finish. Willing to try anything to make their charges swim faster. Australian coaches experiment with special diets (Murray Rose stokes up on seaweed jelly) and novel styles. A few have even tried hypnotism. But like good coaches anywhere, they depend most on grinding work. In the year preceding the Melbourne Olympics, Australian team members trained hard for ten months, swam six days a week, covered an estimated 80 miles apiece each month. Many of them took a ten weeks' calisthenics course in a Sydney gym, tossed medicine balls, chinned the horizontal bar, did pushups. Buoyant...
...trying to keep its economic nose above water, and that it is trying to cut the cloth to what it has, not to what it would like to have. As we understand it, what the President is saying here is that the British are having to sink or swim in their effort to plant the seedbed of a viable economy, and that they cannot insist upon sewing too fine a seam in doing it. To put it another way and quite simply, the United Kingdom has its back to the wall in its Spartan efforts to climb...
