...Bible story of Joseph was prehistoric, an all-too-brief, telescoped account of ages of prehistory. Soon Mann discovered that "the personal story of Joseph alone would not do, but that the primeval and original story, the history of the world, demanded to be included at least in perspective." For the prehistoric men & women of Genesis did not seem to share the modern idea that individuality is unique and self-centered. They were "human beings who did not quite know who they were, or who knew it in a more pious, deeply exact way than the modern individual-beings whose...
...year-old TIME Correspondent Jack Belden, Burma was not just a politico-military tragedy. It was also a fantastic personal adventure, a dream, a series of violent, sick, hot, ruinous and sensuous images. He crowds them into a dynamic account of the Burmese ordeal...
...short-wave broadcast, rebroadcast on U.S. medium wave, was fifth of 13 in the BBC-CBS series Transatlantic Call (Sun., 12 noon, E.W.T.).

Stettinius punctured the theory that the U.S. was short of meat on Britain's account. Meat exports by Lend-Lease last year amounted to only 5% of the total supply. And Lend-Lease in reverse, i.e., food supplied by Australia and New Zealand to our armed forces abroad, exceeded our Lend-Lease shipments of beef, lamb and mutton by about eight million...
