Devices and Desires, by E. Arnot Robertson (Macmillan; $3.50). Another war story, with a younger but almost as arresting heroine: 13-year-old Hebe, who after five years of wartime wandering with her refugee Dutch father, has become a kind of junior femme fatale. She loves no one, trusts no one, speaks half a dozen languages picked up along the way, lies almost as easily as she smiles, and has only one purpose: to get out of Greece and back to England and the safe, respectable provincial house where her mother's people lived.

British movie critics have always appeared to take a special delight in poking fun-or just plain poking-at Hollywood's product. On occasion, Hollywood has foolishly struck back.

Instead, the staff culls U.S. newspapers, magazines and books, translates the best articles and mails them to 191 newspapers...
Wary of official handouts after twelve years of Dr. Goebbels' force-feeding, German editors have grown to trust Amerika-Dienst because it does not slant its stories. Arnot figures that the good in U.S. life will outweigh the bad in any factual presentation. Once an editor in Nürnberg rejected an Amerika-Dienst picture of hundreds of U.S. workers' automobiles parked in front of a factory because "My readers will say it's just so much propaganda." Arnot came back with a story discussing high prices and unemployment, but also documenting the fact that...
