Major Force. S.A.O. makes no secret of its plans for a "decentralized and corporative" metropolitan France, should it ever come to power. Its political ideas echo those of the discredited Vichy regime of Marshal Petain in World War II. In the prevailing gloom, even former "moderate" Europeans in Algiers accept the S.A.O. line.

Century's Echo. The new poems do not alter the shape of Graves's work, but the appearance of the new collection may help speed the change in critical attitude toward the poet.

On Sundays, he sits in the backyard, reading...
...issues of a sort, was being fought last week by two countries who were sort of friends the day before hostilities. Tunisia and France, joined in the dubious nostalgia of ex-colony and motherland, were firing at each other on Tunisian soil and exchanging bitter charges in the august echo chamber of the United Nations Security Council...
