...were thrilling melodramas, gripping in their own right. In Dillinger, all we see are static moments in time without a sense of cause-and-effect. The bloody episodes are strung together with little continuity, merely reaffirming the adage that crime doesn't pay. Life is continually lost to no avail. The gangsters never even seem to have a chance to spend their money. How can we glorify Dillinger? He seems no more than a crook...
...column was six miles long. "We insist on going to Cairo," a spokesman said. "We have strict instructions from the People's Revolutionary Committee to stop only in Cairo." Egyptian officials attempted to stop the march-to no immediate avail.

The British could try to persuade Pirelli to pull its Italian operations out of the world-spanning combine; yet that would hardly appeal to Leopoldo Pirelli. Or Geddes and his executives could continue trying to help Pirelli, at the risk of having rising losses entirely submerge Dunlop profits...
