...Robert Crabb, who with his wife and a boy and girl born during their internment were among 3,700 freed at Santo Tomas. He wrote: "Hundreds of us wept unashamed when the Stars & Stripes was run up. . . ." ¶ NBC Correspondent Bert Silen, who began his first broadcast with an inevitable wisecrack: "As I was saying when I was so rudely interrupted over three years and a month...
Progressing to dramatic criticism, Hazlitt stirred up a histrionic storm by suggesting, in the modern vein, that what appealed to Shakespeare's Desdemona most was Othello's dark skin. Cried Critic Henry Crabb Robinson: "A gross attack on the pretensions to chastity in women." As political commentator, Hazlitt was even more savage. He once called the future Duke of Wellington "a weak mind and an able body," King Ferdinand of Spain "a royal marmoset." If he had not written so brilliantly, he might soon have found no editor to publish him. Hazlitt sometimes confused integrity with tactlessness...

Those who have followed Mr. Crabb's career as a writer, know that up to the present time his work has consisted almost entirely of detective stories of a high order. Although interested primarily in criminology, he apparently has come to see that, from the point of view of fiction, such a field has very distinct limitations. For the first time he has applied his keen analytical powers to a story not intimately connected with crime, and he has produced a book which gives promise of future development...
...Crabb's style is interesting, his plots is well thought out, but his analytical propensities, mentioned above, have too free rein in "Ben Thorpe". Pschycological discussion detracts from the effectiveness of the novel; it is introduced too clumsily, and, therefore, is a confession of weakness. The author is not quite sure that he has brought about the desired effect through the relation of incident and by dialogue. He feels explanation is necessary. In the novel this is of course permissible, but often ill-advised. Subtler methods are generally more successful...
