Rocky Roads. By 1944 Farida was as discouraged over Farouk's endless procession of mistresses as he was over her sonlessness; she left her husband's bed & board and set up housekeeping alone. The king asked his advisers' permission to divorce her, but the politicians said, "Wait." Farida had sworn to remarry. If she had a son by another man that would look bad for Farouk. He waited. But last week, as the news of Britain's princeling reverberated around the world, he could wait no longer. "The will of Allah," he announced through his ministers...
...Holy Cross I saw two guys I'd never heard of, and another that I'd forgotten, torpedo those huge Holy Cross linesmen. They were Dick Guidera, Jerry Kanter, and Nick Rodis. I could not imagine, too, how I had forgotten number 77's name because he was getting endless tackles. Then there was little Hal Moffle who took a handoff from Nick Athans and went 80 some yards for a T. D. None of these men individually was a hero, it dawned upon me: they were a businesslike team...
...main, however, Life With Mother, like Life With Father, is the broadly painted picture of a man and a marriage, the chronicle of a household and record of a class.

Being Virginia born, Douglas Freeman had heard endless talk of the war; he had seen Generals Longstreet and Fitzhugh Lee in the flesh. The headmaster of McGuire's University School used to scold the boys for tardiness by reminding them that the battle of Gettysburg was lost because General Longstreet stopped to give his corps breakfast...
...Wherever you are, we will get you." These words, beamed to Sweden over the Soviet-controlled Estonian radio, haunted the memories of a 21-year-old housewife and her friends seeking entry into the U.S. last week. They were the leitmotif of a journey that had seemed endless. "I fled from Estonia to Finland because of the Germans," said the girl, on Ellis Island. "A year later, in 1944, I fled from Finland to Sweden because of the Russians." Her shipmates-steelwork-ers, a glassblower, weavers, seamstresses, mechanics, lawyers, farmers, fishermen-had similar tales to tell. An Estonian farmer told...
