...nothing can head off bloodshed, which is a good thing for the picture. Director Anthony (Winchester '73) Mann whips up some first-rate shots of furious hand-to-hand fighting and battle scenes featuring the flinging of dynamite sticks as hand grenades. Swarms of sheep disappear in billowing explosions, the Indian stockade is blown to shambles, and it finally takes the U.S. Cavalry to deal Taylor death with honor...
...demigod is the inexorable theme of Parade's End. Christopher, despite his incomparable powers (or perhaps because of them), is a man saturated with humility, pity and chivalrous principles. With a world that is half gone to the dogs he will make not the smallest compromise; so the furious world sets out to hunt him down...
...months ago, Editor Gunn did it again. Over a dispatch from Korea, the Standard headlined: PEASANTS OUTCLASS THE MIGHTY U.S.A.

Gunn stood firm, argued that the headline was "no more than a quotation" (but not an exact one) from the story under it by Chicago Daily News Correspondent Keyes Beech...

By the time a Royal Navy motor launch nosed in to a southwest beach and took off both captive and captors, Moss and Leigh-Fermor knew that they had achieved their principal aim-to astound the enemy and make him the laughingstock of the local population...

His tales of violence then become preposterous and cheap; his livid rhetoric creates a verbal log jam, with prepositions flying wild, clauses drifting crazily and parentheses multiplying like rabbits. But when he is really in command of his story (about half the time), Faulkner makes his rhetoric work for him, even when it is full of echoes of Ciceronian oratory and of overripe Elizabethan poetry...
