...Congress was unwittingly outlined by Prosecutor Younger in his criticism of the defense attorney's "Alice-in-Wonderland logic." This same term may paradoxically be employed to describe the HUAC's Alice-like wonder at the folk singer's material. How could the same Peter Seeger who recognized the evils of war in popularizing "Down By the Riverside" recognize a similar evil in the men starving during the depression of the 30's while "The banks are made of marble?" For a convincing performer there is no such entity as a polite truth or a romantic stage presence which melts...
...frequent mild earthquakes that rattle windows and dismay tourists are routine works of the gods. But the nearly 3,000 employees of Dentsu Advertising, Ltd. are subject to other tremors and are often heard to groan: "Oh Oni is angry again."

Even in 1955, Boston's Archbishop (now Cardinal) Richard Gushing claimed: "We are not looking...
...cold man who amid ecclesiastical tasks had felt little human emotion, the monsignor, turned detective about the dead, runs full tilt upon love and hate, good and evil, in the living. Encountered in his investigations are a humanely skeptical Jewish doctor, a peasant woman who was Nerone's adoring mistress, their illegitimate teen-aged son, and a nymphomaniac contessa who clashes with a bitter homosexual painter over the boy. Watching past and present collide, seeing martyrdom cheek by jowl with betrayal and murder with suicide, the monsignor-before his own death-becomes a more troubled...
