...than Indo-China ever did. With the U.S. paying 60%, the French share in Indo-China was $1,100,00 a day; in Algeria France has no outside help, and costs run close to $1,700,000 a day. In Indo-China France fought with a professional army (Africans. German Legionnaires), of which less than 100,000 were Frenchmen, against a Viet Minh army operating, for the most part, out of clearly defined zones that could be attacked by tanks, artillery, and bombers. In Algeria twice as many French soldiers are engaged against rebels who fight in small bands...
...country. Among Vienna's 65 psychiatrists, 14 are Freudians (including six who practice psychoanalysis); Adler's adherents number four, and Jung's two. In Germany Freud's influence on psychiatry is resisted; in other walks of life it is omnipresent but hidden. Says a German-Jewish sociologist: "Naziism and anti-Freudianism have the same deep roots in the German people. Why, if they accepted Freud, they would have to stop beating their children." In Switzerland the Calvinist conscience stands in adamant resistance to Freud. In France le Freudisme was little more than an intellectual fad between...
...novelists are getting their second wind. In two months, half a dozen or so tales of combat action have seen print.

As a loser, the German writer must salvage for his hero both identity and meaning from a lost cause pursued beyond...
...Cork for Svengali. The time is after Stalingrad; the place is the Black Sea area. The German situation is hopeless, and the task of Corporal Rolf Steiner's wounded platoon is near-suicidal. Its job is to stay behind as a rearguard while the rest of the battalion withdraws. In the fluid state of the front, this means only one thing, that the hapless platoon will soon be a cork abob in a sea of Russians. The platoon has small faith in its chances, but believes mesmerically in Corporal Steiner, who has assumed command from his wounded sergeant. Steiner...
...whom they use as a decoy in crossing over to their unbelieving buddies. Steiner is made a sergeant on the spot and gets a furlough, but all he and his men have really won is a brief reprieve, not a full pardon from death. The whole crumbling German front is itself a rearguard desperately parrying Russian advances and encirclements...
