George Frederick Will (born May 4, 1941) is an American libertarian conservative writer and political commentator. He writes columns for The Washington Post on a regular basis and provides commentary for NewsNation. In 1986, The Wall Street Journal called him "perhaps the most powerful journalist in America". Will won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 1977.
A former member of the Republican Party, Will was a close ally of Ronald Reagan during his presidential campaign in 1980. He assisted Reagan with debate preparation and was later falsely accused by former president Jimmy Carter of providing Reagan with a top secret briefing book in a scandal known as Debategate, an allegation Carter later retracted.
In later years, he became a critic of Republican politicians, including Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, and Donald Trump. Will's disapproval of Trump's presidential campaign led him to become an independent in 2016, and he subsequently voted for Joe Biden in 2020, and stated in September 2024 he would be voting for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

Pin another gold star on the Globe's report card this morning for another breathtakingly suspensive melodrama from England. Hand a similar decoration to Carol Reed, who has directed it with the same grim urgency as his "Night Train," and to a thoroughbred cast for a flawless performance. "The Girl in the News" has not the headlong haste and violence of its predecessor; its impact comes rather from the relentless accumulation of small events which twice bring an innocent young nurse under the shadow of the gallows. Its tension increases like the tightening of a steel spring and it snaps only at the last moment.As the young woman twice accused, Nurse Graham is first brought to book for the death of a querulous female invalid who took an overdose of sedative and left unexplained certain incriminating circumstances. Acquitted despite the doubts of her own attorney, the nurse unwittingly steps into a trap when the wife of an invalid offers her employment. Thus when the wife and her paramour, the butler, dispose of the husband by using the identical sedative, the nurse's guilt is taken for granted. That the illicit lovers nearly succeed until an ironic twist betrays them gives the film its hectic pulse.Like the Englishman he is, Mr. Reed is a very devil at creating terror by contrast. The sense of impending disaster he allows to accumulate behind the commonplaces of small talk of a barrister's flat, and the murder itself gains in enormity when set against the archaic and time-slowing formalities of an English court or the politely isolated manners of his characters. Camera and sound track are constantly used with decisive effect. When a chambermaid takes tea to the already slain husband, the butler's hand momentarily dims the radio to hear her scream of discovery; a playful kitten pawing at the hem of a nightgown relates an invalid's painful progress to a forbidden medicine chest, and the courtroom sequences are clean of needless mumbo-jumbo. Characters, humorous or sinister, are revealed in a moment's flash. Mr. Reed keeps to the point.The performances are extraordinarily good. Margaret Lockwood's young lady in distress is forthright and true from moment to moment; Barry K. Barnes plays the young attorney with clipped precision, and Emlyn Williams adds another character to his series of malevolent portraits as the butler. To single out others would be an injustice to a cast that is perfect from top to bottom. Bring out the smelling salts, folks. Another spellbinding English thriller has come to town!

HERE it is May, and the theatre finds very little in its immediate future -- one new play this month, maybe two; one next. The record isn't very good, especially since in May last year there were ten new shows, including two musicals.

On the pantry shelf of every selfrespecting colonial farmhouse -- snuggling cozily beside the cookie jar -- was a fat, brown crook of apple butter, just such a crock as we discovered last week on the shelves of a city department store. In delight we took off the lid to smell the fine, familiar fragrance.
