...point out that Letter Carrier Bolen's $3,100 [TIME, Jan. 26] is top grade pay? If Mrs. Bolen has difficulty with the budget, imagine the plight of us World War II veterans who chose the Postal Service for a career, and at the bottom grade pay of $2,100 a year must somehow support our growing and frequently evicted and homeless families.

Unless he publicly endorses a flagrant speculation fraud, she will expose the one piece of youthful crookedness upon which his fortune and his career are founded. Sir Robert Chiltern (Hugh Williams) is all the more gruesomely trapped because he deeply loves his wife (Diana Wynyard), a noble but somewhat priggish woman who, he is sure, would cease to love him if he should fail to match her idealization of him. His close friend Lord Goring...
