...written accordingly; but Genet is evil. The Oscar Wilde of Salome, and perhaps the Tennessee Williams of Suddenly Last Summer, appear as if they might have wanted to be Genet when they grew up; compared to him they are only dilettantes of degradation. When they write of the most deep-going taint they can imagine, they are on the outside looking eagerly in, almost with their noses pressed against the glass. Genet is on the inside, looking around. His work has none of the orchidaceous exoticism common to that of those for whom evil is a hobby. For Genet...
...friends in Eliot, were certain to drop in and ask him for a walk "just to cheer old Falstaff up." How little Falstaff needed this super-added cheer they could hardly imagine. On the contrary, they distrusted his seeming calm. They thought his satisfied air a cloak veiling deep festering pools of insidious despair.

Perhaps the most serious problem for American and the other lines is the vanishing U.S. airspace. A jet moving at an average of ten miles a minute will require an air cocoon of 6,000 square miles 2,000 ft. deep for safety. Jets will reach heights formerly monopolized by military planes, will need precise traffic controls to keep them on their separate ways. Last summer Congress belatedly created a new jet-age federal agency, the Federal Aviation Agency, which will supplant the old Civil Aeronautics Administration on Jan. 1, take over safety-regulations functions from the Civil Aeronautics Board...
