...rambling, off-the-cuff Eisenhower ambiguity left unclear just what Ike would do if a demand for higher steel wages resulted in higher steel prices-or, for that matter, in a prolonged strike. But seldom had the ambiguity served to better advantage: for without the thunder of a threat or the balm of a promise, the Manhattan negotiators began to feel the gaze of 175 million pairs of eyes...
Attilio Poto ended his five-year career with the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra last night. The concert's final piece was Beethoven's seventh symphony, performed in a manner which revealed a good many now-familiar characteristics of Mr. Poto and his orchestra; the out-of-tune winds, the unclear articulation in the strings, the surprising power in forte passages; the clear, business-like beat of the conductor.

...swarmed more than 60 New York detectives, who questioned 1,000 people, including patients at the nearby U.S. Public Health Service Hospital, where promising Resident Surgeon Nimer began work two months before.

...usual, her favorite costume is the wrap-around towel that does not quite wrap around. Unhappily, the makers of this movie spend so much time exposing Brigitte that they seem to overlook the exposition of the story-which becomes especially unclear whenever Actress Bardot is on the screen. Still and all, the plot makes more sense than some of the subtitles. "Merde!" cries Brigitte, and the English translation helpfully explains: "Ouch...
