Tenuous as it may prove to be, however, the truce represented a breakthrough for Whitelaw (see box) and a handsome return on his determined policy of conciliation. Whitelaw released more than half of the Catholics who had been interned without trial by Faulkner's government. Last week he took another conciliatory step and ordered that 80 Catholics and 40 Protestants sentenced for political crimes such as carrying arms be treated as political prisoners. That meant that they will be allowed better food, more family visits and ordinary clothes. The ruling came just in time to save some...
...Have and Have Not. Bogart is an anti-Vichy gun-runner; Bacall, in her screen debut, gets to tell him if-you-need-anything-just-whistle.

Their collective qualities this month won her the prestigious Gold Medal for Fiction from the National Institute of Arts and Letters...
This patronizing attitude is hard to avoid unless one is dealing with a hero in diagulse like Joyce's Leopold Bloom, or one romanticizes the characters as in Hollywood movies. Hollywood truckdrivers and gangsters had dialogue written for them by James Agee and William Faulkner and Dudley Nichols, so if they weren't exactly clever at least they talked fast and sharp...
