...reasons for his actions, he remains a cipher-too much of an antiChrist and not enough of an anti-her. None of the Bates family provides a counterbalance to Martin Thomas is an all-too human aggregate of frailties; guilty and hypocritical mauvaise fol combined with an almost gloom which seems out of place. His wife, while sympathetic and a true believer, is almost as weak as he, and far less intelligent Patricia is too much of a vegetable to elicit more than viscereal pity.

...wild cheering on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and around the financial district last week did not spread much beyond Wall Street. Across the U.S. there is still deepening gloom about the economy, and no single group is more painfully aware of it than the beleaguered owners of American businesses. This year their ranks are being trimmed by bankruptcy faster than at any time since the Depression. Says Chairman of Eastern Air Lines Frank Borman, whose company has several times flirted with failure: "I've long said that capitalism without bankruptcy is like Christianity without hell...
