Wasted Years? And then there was Lancashire-a crucial place, Lancashire, with 10% of the seats in Commons and most of them closely held. Behind his Frigidaire exterior, Chancellor of the Exchequer "Rab" Butler was warmly familiar with the Lancashiremen's chief concern-with textile mills down, they are not sharing in the prosperity that bathes most of Britain. The Laborites were crying that the Tories had wasted their 3½ years in power. "Wasted years!" snorted Butler. "Do they think the years were wasted which produced 1,000,000 houses...
Moreover, the central position of the chapel permits it to be sighted especially well from the ice-rink and baseball field, where mundane pettiness must give way to divine forgival and benediction. Here, this conspicuous exterior may act to furnish added inspiration to a religious tirade, or even assuage wrath by its soothing religiosity...
American dog lovers, who seem to put up with a lot of nonsense, have never taken to bulldogs. Whelping is difficult; for all their rugged exterior, they often have a frail constitution. They are shortlived (six years is considered old). Most important, they are unsociable.

Because Actor Maurice Evans and Schaefer conceived the play as "an extremely personal and domestic drama," all these elements were built in proper relation to each other...
...this is doled out as solemnly as a lantern-slide lecture in German philosophy, with the actors uneasily unsure whether they are really U.S. dirt farmers, by cracky, or Leibnitzian particles in a transcendental ether. The color is excellent, though it is not clear why color is needed; the exterior shots are mostly of snowscapes marked with black exclamations of pine, and the interiors are in starkest black and white (Good v. Evil). To suggest, perhaps, the eternal travail of these opposites, the picture has been made as eternal as possible (102 minutes). When at last the moviegoer dares hope...
