...Heiress (adapted from Henry James's Washington Square by Ruth & Augustus Goetz; produced by Fred F. Finklehoffe) turns a well-nigh perfect novel into a very imperfect but highly interesting drama. That is no trifling feat, for the novel is not very dramatic. Mr. & Mrs. Goetz give the story more kick by settling for less art. At their worst, they are not so much collaborating with Henry James as colliding with him; but on the whole they do a good job.

Justifying the use of an imperfect system by the assumption that students did not object to the burden of finals with hour exams, the Administration never suspected a malfunction in the ancient plan. The early weeks in October were charted as a period of student adjustment to new courses and any scheduling of make-ups after hour exams appeared academically unsound.

If she furnishes his alibi...
Last month, Marshal Vassily Sokolovsky finally cracked down in a draconic order calling for all-out denazification to be finished Feb. 20. Attacks against the U.S.'s and Britain's admittedly imperfect denazification were Communism's favorite propaganda device, and Molotov himself is undoubtedly planning to use it at the Moscow conference. But the line can be effective only if Russia's own denazification record is clean. As a consequence, "little" or "forced" Nazis are being thrown out of industry, business, government, schools by the tens of thousands each week...
