...Lord, local history is something of an obsession. The best way to understand America, he believes, is to understand the details that make it up. He has persuaded the Wisconsin legislature to make the society custodian of all official records, which allows it to sort and preserve documents that might otherwise be lost. (One document that has been missing since 1891: the original state constitution.) He has expanded a program of restoring historic landmarks. And he has organized more than 1,000 junior chapters from which aspiring young historians sally forth to interview reminiscing oldtimers, stir up the dust...
...Magic Box (J. Arthur Rank; Mayer-Kingsley) is a lavish tribute to British cinema's pioneer William Friese-Greene (played by Robert Donat), who went without recognition during his lifetime, and died in poverty in 1921. The picture, a highly polished, occasionally over-reverent document that was made for last year's Festival of Britain, enlists many of the outstanding names in British films.

On a recent return...
...France faced each other in the big, ornate Peace Palace at The Hague before the 15 black-robed, white-bibbed judges of the International Court of Justice. In a crimson robe decked with ermine, Professor André Gros argued for France that the treaty was an archaic document under which the U.S. was trying to build a "quasi-protectorate" of its own in Morocco. The American businessmen in Morocco, Lawyer Gros said, were engaged in privileged import and money-exchange activities "based on fraud," and could not be checked by local laws...
