...turn, this vision of spiritual (rather than merely social) brotherhood did not lead Davenport toward mysticism. Right reason is still man's supreme weapon: "The Thomist doctrine, that Reason is the handmaiden of Faith, has never really been overthrown." Where does such faith-with-reason lead America? Daven port did not live long enough to give more than clues to an answer. One clue lies in his feeling that the conflict between old-fashioned American individualism and the modern pressures for the welfare state need not (perhaps should not) be resolved, but kept in equilibrium: that this very balance...
...after A Bell for Adano, was Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, which will have sold over 60,000 copies in 1944 alone, although it was first published 21 years ago. He points out as remarkable, and rightly so, total printings of 30,000 copies for Russell Daven port's My Country.

Razumov (Andre Daven) is a French production with English subtitles of Joseph Conrad's Under Western Eyes, which was published in 1911 when the terrorism of Nihilists and Anarchists in Russia was capturing popular imagination. Razumov (Pierre Fresnay) is a Russian student with no interest in politics and on the verge of a brilliant scholastic career when he finds a boyhood friend named Haldin (Jean-Louis Barrault) hiding in his rooms after assassinating the Prime Minister. Unwillingly stirred by sympathy, Razumov tries to help Haldin escape, but is trapped into betraying him. Tsarist police then force him to become...
