...Coordinator. Soaring high into the clean, quiet void - where at times the visibility stretched for more than 200 miles - the planes streaked counterclockwise around the earth - eastward across the U.S., over Newfoundland, past North Africa, Saudi Arabia and Ceylon (giving the Soviet Union a wide berth), made a mock bomb-run off the Malay Peninsula, cut back over Manila, then Guam, headed across the wide reaches of the Pacific to California (see map). Below, in daylight hours, the world spun like a giant relief globe; sometimes at night the planes butted their way through air so charged and turbulent that...
...happy trip to Lawrison, which some residents of Lawrence, Mass. may suspect is their home town. Ratte, in Mr. Ssizle and the Tree Thieves, shows a real artist's eye for the colors of New England, and while his piece doesn't really say very much, it is a clean and softly done...
...manners have changed to some extent, the geisha's true function has not. In essence, it is to be all that a wife should be if she didn't have to wash the dishes, bear the babies, clean the house and grow old and tiresome.

Drama Critic Walter Kerr condensed the Dudley Fitts-Robert Fitzgerald translation without wounding it. The cast...
...Rhyce is a trained CIA agent, as callous and professional as Moto himself. Even the villain is American-a big, handsome Communist so crafty and devious that he hoodwinks Moto into arresting Rhyce as a spy. There is an even more startling difference: in the prewar Moto stories, the clean-cut American usually won the lovable American girl. In the new book, Jack Rhyce wins only a Pyrrhic victory-the Communists are thwarted, but Ruth Bogart, Rhyce's true love and fellow secret agent, is killed. Clearly, Marquand's Americans have passed many a point of no return...
