...During the Middle East and Hungarian crises he had developed a nervous habit of awakening at 4 or 4:30 a.m. to jot down on a scratch pad the ideas that were flickering through his mind. When he first arrived in Augusta the wind was chilly, the skies were grey, and his golf score-usually a good thermometer of his physical and mental tone -was infuriatingly high. He suddenly realized that he was very tired, and planned a careful schedule to replenish his strength. By last week the clouds had cleared, the temperature rose into the 70s and the golf...
...standards, Woman of Rome is an unusual movie, but its grey-toned realismo is hardly a match for the novel's. In its transposition to the screen, the story retains its rather sudsy plot but has lost the perceptive insights that stitched the novel into a meaningful tale.

The wood was moldering, the rooftop sagged, grey plaster was flaking off the old brick walls. Disconsolately tugging at a damp patch of wallpaper in an upstairs bedroom, Lindley got the surprise of his life. A flap of wallpaper six layers thick, backed by linen cloth, tore away, revealing beneath a broad expanse of orange, grey, black, blue and yellow mural. Recalled Lindley...
...humor. In Threepenny Novel, the late German Playwright and Novelist Bertolt Brecht takes the position that business is crime conducted in an aura of respectability. His book is somehow engaging despite this classic Marxist idea, because of its raffishly vital characters who make all the Cash McCalls in their grey flannel suits seem as sedate, proper and wooden as the paneling of their executive suites...
