Tyrone Power plays Eddy with unflagging boyishness, and Kim Novak acts the doomed Marjorie Oelrichs with spectral intimations ("Hold me, Eddy; I'm afraid of the wind . . .").

A major reporting problem is to get school officials to speak for attribution; the subject is often just too hot. It is just as hard to get frank views from ordinary citizens in any attempt...
...could marry, but the union was not legally recognized in the South. One Kentucky minister with auction-block separations in mind amended the words in slave weddings to "till death or distance do you part." Women slaves were often prey to the master's amatory whims. Some historians hold that even the great Jefferson fathered mulatto offspring and he was twitted for it in caustic verse...
