...think the Taft-Hartley Act goes' too far the other way. I never went on strike in my life, never ordered anyone else to run a strike in my life, never had anything to do with a picket line." The audience applauded, but the spirit of comradeship lasted only a moment...
...circumstances of 1945, especially the brave and loyal Russian record of cooperation in the war, made reasonable the assumption that Russia, Britain and the U.S. could act in postwar concert.

...Mint, the brutalities of noncoms, the indifference of officers, the rude comradeship and intellectual sterility of barracks life are set down with hard fidelity.

She preferred instead the company of dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals with as much vitality as herself...
Into Sunny Honeymoon Italy's Alberto Moravia pours the heady wine of love and politics. Married two days and honeymooning on Capri, an increasingly testy husband finds his Communist bride continually fending him off. Worse still, she shows an easy sense of comradeship with a fellow party worker they meet on the island. Just when the unhappy husband has decided that he and his wife are politically incompatible, a helpful bolt of summer lightning melts her lovingly in his arms...
