...slim, boyish-looking sergeant walked last week into the shabby front room of a shack on Pittsburgh's gritty North Side. He sat down, and with grave deliberation pulled off his boots, then broke out a plug of tobacco. "First chance I've had for a good chew since I got back," he said. Technical Sergeant Charles E. ("Commando") Kelly was home...
...play's great merit is its genuine bite; its worst weakness, that it bites off more than it can chew. It is more like two plays-and two very unequal ones. When it seizes its theme and blows across the blackened grass of the age, The Searching Wind is bracing and sharp-a drama of adult talk and challenging ideas. But the theme both hampers the plot and holds aloof from it. The love story lacks fullness. The women lack freedom.

...Sweater. He had four weeks before sailing. He went back to Yale, sweated for two days over the structure of the Chinese language, got it down to ele ments that could be written on a small sheet of paper.

Although the concentration is high in the saliva, very little gets into...
...Meat. Most substantial chunk in the speech for U.S. citizens to chew on was Ambassador Gromyko's "belief" that the Soviet Union expects to cooperate with the U.S. after the war : "The present joint struggle against our common foe-Hitlerite Germany and her allies in Europe-will bring about closer collaboration of our countries in the postwar period, in the interests of general peace." Discreetly tucked away behind the garnishing was a small tough bite. The Soviet still knows when the war really started and who stopped Hitler: "During the entire two years of this stubborn struggle . . . the heaviest...
