There are also signs that Perón is forcing La Naión, once an independent, anti-Perón daily, to conform to his line. When La Prensa was closed, La Naión's Editorial Writer Alfonso de Laferrère wrote in La Naión: "A great voice has been silenced, but its echo will continue to vibrate . . ." The Peronistas soon went to work-as they had on La Prensa-totting up a trumped-up "customs bill" of 17 million pesos that the paper was supposed to owe the government...

Illusion and romance envelope the genteel Southern boardinghouse of the Tuckerman family, and the play becomes a study of the effect that tough-minded personalities have on these illusions. Florence Eldridge plays an insecure Southern belle, wound up in the intricacy of a false emotion, who sees in life only what she wants. She cannot believe that her disillusioned husband (perhaps too much her antithesis to be really credible) wishes to divorce her merely in order to commune...
