...some of them certainly are clever On the subject of "Home," for instance, there is the statement by Robert Frost: "Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in." A brilliant saying in the topic of "Economics" goes like this: "When we speak of bum steers in the stock market, we aren't talking about farming." This last saying certainly embodies" a great truth," just as Mr. Prochnow promised. Its author, incidentally, is Herbert V. Prochnow...
Indeed, Mr. Prochnow has been much too modest with us. We had no idea, on reading his preface, that many of the brilliant epigrams and witticisms he was talking about were his very own. We did not imagine that he himself had thought up more than 200 of the epigrams in his book, whereas only 49 of them were by William Shakespeare. We had not the slightest inkling that Mr. Prochnow could also put his brilliant, pithy thoughts into verse, as he does on the subject of "Sleep...
...does these well, but it is difficult to evaluate his interpretation because Reuben's character is left so vague and undefined. Evelyn Lear as his girl gives a hrikingly uneven performance at various times, she manages to resemble Martha Raye, June Allyson, and Joan Crawford.

But their best defense was Podres' zipping fast ball, carefully assorted with well-disciplined slow curves that kept the Yankees swinging off balance throughout the afternoon's siege. Finally, a gentle grounder rolled to Dodger Captain Pee Wee Reese for the last...
...better. Father and daughter go to work in the morning, and in the evening daughter dates her young lawyer (Gig Young). But people make mistakes. Little Richard writes a warning to teacher in his copybook, and father intercepts it only just in time. Another time March manages, by a brilliant stroke of opportunity, to lock two of the brutes out of the house and overpower a third. He leaps to the phone-only to hear his wife cry out that Bogart has got the boy, who had chosen that moment for an attempt to sneak out the window...
