...sullen summer heat, strikes smouldered into flame like scattered forest fires. To spotters in the Bureau of Labor Statistics there was nothing new in this-the spark of labor unrest always kindles fastest in summer, when men are irritable, when contract negotiations deadlock, when picketing is most comfortable. But after more than three years of use, the slow fire apparatus of the War Labor Board was sadly worn. In Akron, Ohio, the nation's rubber capital, there was proof that the U.S. had only one certain method of extinguishing stubborn strikes -a Presidential order for seizure of plants...
...essays, stories, notebooks and letters, including the famed scarifying confession (published in Esquire in 1936) in which Fitzgerald explained his decline from high-ranking novelist to Hollywood hack. The result is an extraordinary character-study, wholly free from reticence or whitewash.

When ignited (by men running alongside the pipes with torches), a wall of flame roars from the jets with the noise and smoke of a forest fire. The intense heat first vaporizes the fuel in the upper (feeder) pipe, causing the smoke to subside, then burns off the soupiest...

It does not present merely a re-grooved record; Katie and Tracy manage to stay in character in an intelligent comedy that has good lines, a virtue plays like "The Wind is Ninety" don't feel is necessary. There's even a quote from T. S. Eliot--"April is the cruelest month"--which must be some kind of record for the movies...
