...fruitful results in the African Queen. Mr. Allison's religion, philosophy, and views on life he sums up succinctly: "I'm a Marine." His unshaven stubble, unerring faith in the crops and himself as a Marine, and his heart of gold which sometimes peeps furtively from beneath his unpolished exterior satisfy the role's needs.

In cutting away a section of one wall to throw light on the main stairway of his old house, Saarinen has made the exterior what he considers "better Victorian than ever." The garage has been converted into a joint study, where Eero, working over his drafting table at night, glances up frequently to see Aline chewing up pencils over her writing...
