...SECRET SURRENDER, by Allen Dulles. This account of the capitulation of 1,000,000 Nazi and Italian troops during World War II, told by the man who arranged it, demonstrates that fact can sometimes be an improvement on espionage fiction...
...Hanratty's conviction that he couldn't meet the entrance requirements to Penn State, Parseghian's cry of "we've got to have him," and the boy's present C+ average (with tutoring, apparently) all too clearly account for much of why Notre Dame is No. 1 in the nation today.

The fact that Fay's book is being serialized in the daily press and has begun to make the bestseller lists can be taken as an indication that, while the last serious tomes about Kennedy's Administration may have been published, the last glimpses of his personality have...
