...another part of the state Mead's opponent, Tom Dewey, hustled on through his last days before election, breezing through Elmira, Fort Niagara, Binghamton, Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo. He was mellow, he was casual, he even had a touch of bonhomie; he was scathing of his opponents' "ignorance." He acted as though he had the election in the bag.

He smashed to bits a 137-year-old world's record of 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours; his time was only one-third that...
...Catholic bourgeois society of France before World War I. The central figure in the story is Brigitte Pian, a woman whose intense religious life is a mask for her pride and will to dominate others. The scruples with which she torments those dependent on her may seem fantastic to casual readers, but they are logical consequences of a false and formal Christianity...
