...believe that the world had held out a promise to him then that it had long since slapped out of his hands. Many of his plays, as a result, are set around 1910, and still more have an Edwardian flavor even if they are contemporary. His plays often express nostalgia for hope and optimism in the spirit of a young girl (as in The Rehearsal), countering it with examples of repulsive families, bizarre marriages, grubbing politics and permeating corruption. Anouilh has carried this further by marrying two of his young heroines. In a more sour vein, he is forever locked...
Take the Dame. Across the land this football season, the great American college song has become the great American mumble. In a day when Hail to Thee, Oh Fink might best express "school spirit," the old Alma Mater idea seems "too hot-rocket" to kids unwilling to give "that kind of allegiance just to a college." Dissenters refuse to rise and sing because "your blanket falls off." Princeton hearts pound at Old Nassau, but Princeton mouths go da di da. Even Georgia Tech's "ramblin' wrecks" sing to the Alma Mater in a vast hum, as of bees...
...hapless victim of the mess is giant American Express Co., whose subsidiary operates the tank farm in which Allied Crude supposedly stored millions of pounds of oil. One of Allied's creditors holds receipts for 161 million Ibs. of oil supposedly in Amexco's 138 tanks -but as of last week Amexco had only been able to find 7,000,000 Ibs.

"Moral commands are religious because they express the Will of God. The Will of God for us is precisely our essential being with all its potentialities, our created nature declared as "very good...
...loans are paid off. Haupt's bankrupt commodity customer, Allied Crude Vegetable Oil Refining Corp., wove such a web of tangled credit deals (offering as collateral for loans stocks of vegetable oil that now cannot be found) that losses may total more than $150 million. Giant American Express Co. could face heavy losses because it operates warehouse facilities in which missing oil was supposedly stored, and issued receipts for it. Also locked into commodity deals with Allied that stand to cost them money were Chicago's Walter E. Heller & Co., A. E. Staley Manufacturing Co. (starch), Isbrandtsen...
