...Michael writes her five episodes a week sitting outdoors (if necessary, in blankets) in South Norwalk, Conn. A churchbell or a caterpillar on a leaf is enough to give her a start. By other than soap opera standards, her stuff is only fair. Her worst, deadline-rushed scripts are aimless and sentimental. But from her best a listener may at least get the shiver of sincere emotion conveyed, an honest word spoken...
...Harvard graduates's life is his work, and no expense should be spared-much less $18,000 in rendering all possible aid in securing him not only a job, but a job suited to his capabilities and not one he will grab out of pure desperation after months of aimless searching. The Placement Bureau must be restored at once before the contacts grow cold and before '42 and future classes begin to regret not spending their last year at Katy Gibbs...
Tornado. Out of a darkened sky in Kansas swept a savage downpour of rain. In eastern Kansas City the rain suddenly became a sky-high funnel, black-dirty, twisting, swerving, diving, hopping with aimless, deadly ferocity. By the time men yelled "Tornado!" the wind was past.

Men & women who knew the dreaded roaring noise threw their children to the floor, themselves on top of the children, as their roofs were...
There was no telling until the end. For four rounds, challenger and champion alike exhibited nothing more than what Radio Announcer Don Dunphy kept calling "a healthy respect for each other." Joe crept forward, his snake's tongue left flickering its cruel, aimless explorations; Lou marched backward, bobbing extravagantly 'and waving his arms. More from boredom than conviction, the press crew gave Nova the second and third rounds. In the fourth Louis found an opening, hit Nova all over with ten lefts and rights. The crowd's screams were cut short by the bell. Two rounds later...
...civilian producers, SPAB and Regulation No. 1 make priorities more a matter of life-&-death than ever. But from the new system they may expect a break that Ed Stettinius' aimless methods never provided. Donald Nelson, who will run priorities for SPAB, believes that it is as important morale-wise to keep civilian supplies and factories going (at least in part) as it is to get guns built. At week's end SPAB played with the idea of determining minimum requirements of consumer industries first, allotting the remainder to Army, Navy and Lend-Lease-just the opposite...
