...continuing contracts with President Benjamin Fairless of U. S. Steel, and President H. Edgar Lewis of Jones & Laughlin. Either side may reopen negotiations at any time. Murray let it be known that he thought it was time. He also announced that he would send an aide, lanky Clinton Golden, to Manhattan to discuss with President Raoul Desvernine a new contract with Crucible Steel. Labor and industry were approaching the show down stage...
...Consequences, Heavyweight Lou Nova ran a foot race, impeded by a hastily donned corset. The most implausible feature of the entertainment came when, as another Consequence, bland, dinner-jacketed Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd (in front of 1,500 invitees) was prevailed upon to thrust his head into a golden canary cage and allow himself to be fed crackers while he quavered "I'm Only A Bird In A Gilded Cage...
...Manhattan. Since then the gospel story, sung in a spiritual called John the Revelator, has regularly evoked pin-drop silence in both downtown and uptown branches of Barney Josephson's Café Society.

Maeve McHugh is loved by three brothers-a farmer, a scholar, a Communist fighter. She finds herself unable to belong exclusively to any of them, but always wedded in part, if not in the flesh, to a mystical spirit. It is suggested that she represents Ireland itself. The author may have meant this or something else, but his drama is as vague and uncrystallized as the moonbeams that flood one of the scenes. Sally...
