...added interviews of Truman by Hillman. All this is tossed together in a jumble from which the patient reader can piece together a better picture of Truman, the man and the President, than historians have been able to construct from the records of more complex and less candid Presidents...
...Office of Chinese Affairs, Clubb got into trouble after Whittaker Chambers testified that he had once (1932) seen him in the offices of the Communist New Masses. In the course of defending himself against this not very grave charge, Clubb produced his personal diaries. These contained very candid entries about the Foreign Service and about Clubb's colleagues.

That MaCoy should have been sent to Korea in the first place was almost inevitable from the way he asked for the assignment.

But what counts most are the very candid camera shots of an English girl named Sally Bowles-a bad little good girl, strenuously bohemian, ostentatiously wanton, spotted with living without really having been touched by life. Julie (Member of the Wedding) Harris plays Sally brilliantly, with amazing verve, and with a naughty-child air saves her from seeming nastily...
