Lost: $1,000,000. Precise, prim-looking and uncertain, J.D.R. Jr. started work amid the massive rolltop desks, mustard-colored carpets and bare walls of his father's offices at 26 Broadway, New York. His first jobs there were filling inkwells, deciding the size of the bran bins of the family stables, dispatching a large granite shaft to Cleveland for the family's cemetery plot. Within a few years, however, he began to collect directorships of U.S. Steel, Colorado Fuel & Iron, the National City Bank, Standard Oil of New Jersey and others. Then he lost...
...engage in all-out war with Red China without alienating, perhaps even losing, Britain and other allies. Now Eden can answer charges that his threats were empty blasts by offering Parliament the "American excuse." To counter any clamor at Britain's humiliation by Egypt, Eden might well bare his breast to the foe, move to the brink of war, and then, upon anguished outcries from the U.S., refrain from fighting in order to save the Anglo-American alliance...

Author Daniels is not sufficiently sensuous a writer to breathe physical presence into her characters; yet they think their narrow-bound thoughts, talk their touching dreams and suffer their private agonies most convincingly. As a result, the novel reads...
...film's three stars, only Audrey Hepburn, with her precocious child's head set upon a swanlike neck, looks the part. She is perfectly the Natasha described by Tolstoy: "A dark-eyed little girl, plain, but full of life, with her wide mouth, her childish bare shoulders ... her black lair brushed back, her slender arms . . ." In her playing, Audrey catches the gamine qualities of Natasha, and her softness. What is lacking is the steely courage that would let Natasha brand her flesh with a red-hot iron to prove her love. Instead of a total commitment to life...
