...This Is the Army" - which uniquely features a future U.S. Senator (George Murphy, as a song-and-dance man and Berlin surrogate) playing the father of a future U.S. President (Ronald Reagan) - gave "God Bless America" an impressive mounting. Smith sings the number over a poignant montage of families anxious over the coming war. Murphy hears the song on the radio and says, "You know, I threw that song out of 'Yip Yip Yaphank' 22 years ago. Sounds better...

One final note to Pat Sorrento: you were right about one thing, work is work and there’s nothing better than getting home early and going to sleep...
...Marriott has a happier paying clientele. And by roping off its waiting area, Penn Station prevents homeless people, the mere sight of whom might disturb Amtrak’s sensitive clientele, from drowsing on its chairs. Such baldly self-serving measures could never have been implemented in less anxious times without tremendous public outcry...
