...pursed-lipped judge quickly ruled they must be tried for murder as adults. Philadelphia, its brotherly love strained like many another U.S. city's by the mounting onslaught of teen-age warfare (TIME, April 7), was patently disgusted with sociological explanations, was angry enough for a hard approach to juvenile delinquency. Urged the Philadelphia Bulletin: "A soft policy toward the owners of hands dripping with blood is a frightful mistake...
Then came the letdown to the field. It was a few minutes past midnight-two hours since the trouble had begun-when Obie turned into his final approach. He was too high, too far to the left of the runway. "I didn't have time to think. The GCA station was telling me to go around.

Luxury items, to be sure, are selling close to pre-recession levels, but the rich are patriotic and will always pull hard...
...lacks artistry or conviction. If he can tell a story--and Caldwell can--he's entertaining. "I wouldn't try to tell anyone how to become a writer or try to influence anyone's style, but I hope that my example is occasionally an inspiration." Caldwell's approach is disarmingly bland and frank. He's not an old lecher, and he's probably a lot softer than he was in the Depression years, but he still really doesn't know "anything about advertising or promotion." And it's all rather admirable...
