...opposition, for the issue presented goes much deeper than any ordinary eleavage between Republicans and Democrats. It runs deeper and also it outs at right angles across both parties. The novel theories of society and government which some aspects of the New Deal introduce to America are more directly counter to Democratic principles and traditions than to Republican...
...camera shots made in the last nine years in Russia, Mexico, Spain, the U.S. Dos Passes' angle is never strictly orthodox, from either camp's point of view, but his camera is candid, though tilted perceptibly to the left. His tale of the Red Army soldier, the counter-revolutionary surgeon and the Persian merchant will not be accepted by Communists as propaganda for their cause: supporters of the Spanish Republic (which Observer Dos Passos, with a straight face but an oblique eye, calls ''The Republic of Honest Men'') will not welcome his unveiling...

Critics pay little attention to Fannie Hurst, but plain readers have made her one of the most popular dishes on the counter. Anitra's Dance tells of a wild household of hyphenated Americans noisily existing on Manhattan's Riverside Drive. Head of the house was Papa Bruno, famed musician who somehow managed to do his composing in the same room with a squabbling family bridge game. Other dwellers under the stormy...
