...Fascism as it marches toward the celebration of the fourth anniversary of the march on Rome, while it prepares to enter the fifth year of rule. It was never stronger, never more compact, more solid than today...
...week, cabined in the officers' quarters of his steamer, from Lake No, near Khartoum, Upper Egypt. He was one of five specimens that collectors have captured in 35 years. Two of his kin died some years ago in England. Two stalk dejectedly about the zoo at Cairo. This fifth one, four feet high, maltese grey, was to tour U.S. zoos, guided by Collector George H.

Its satirical content is immense. Poking the ribs of inexplicable stupidities, making the mourners jig at the funeral, causing the garbage man to soliloquize horribly over the victims of the wreck, Mr. dos Passos' play makes the skeleton laugh while its bones rattle accompaniment. The hero's windy diatribes in re the moon and the "voice of the machine" are not successful to the same degree...
