...current production, the first ever to reach Broadwav. is all the more noteworthy for its distinguished cast-Charles Laughton, Charles Boyer, Cedric Hardwicke and Agnes Moorehead. Standing in evening clothes in front of mikes, they merely read the scene with an apparent absence of acting that conceals a great fund...
...drawbacks: like almost everything of Shaw's, the Hell Scene could be shorter. But the characters score their points like polished duelists, flash their rhetoric like master showmen, make ideas hiss and coil and spring like creatures of melodrama. There are drawbacks to the performers, too: Charles Boyer's decided French accent and Charles Laughton's occasional tendency to ham. But in general, the quartet offers fine ensemble playing, with Boyer a magnetic Juan, Laughton a suavely smiling Devil...

What he found was startling. Schedules asked by the military were so far above the doable that aircraft plants and suppliers were fabricating more parts than could be used in completed planes for months to come. Thus, scarce materials were being...
...schedules mean, for example, that one bomber, originally scheduled for delivery at 20 planes a month, now has a goal of 15 a month, which is still five more than current production.

If Congress votes money for an extra 40 air wings, they cannot possibly be shoehorned into the existing program. The only way such a bigger Air Force can be built: keep production at its peak longer...
Schlesinger canceled his contract, and Little, Brown continued to publish Howard Fast (The Proud and the Free), Anna Seghers (The Dead Stay Young), Richard O. Boyer (The Dark Ship) and Albert Maltz (The Journey of Simon McKeever). Unmoved by criticism, Little, Brown claimed to be unconcerned with an author's politics, interested only in the quality of his work...
