Russia had placed an iron mop in the hands of Ana Pauker, its No. 1 Rumanian Communist, and Ana was busy mopping up.

Jon Mihalache had been moved to the cellar of the Ministry of Interior. Last week a rubber-stamp parliament outlawed the National Peasant Party, Rumania's majority party (70% of voters...

Hinkley Manor, which "had never been restored or preserved or quainted up with spinning-wheels and wrought-iron lanterns," is a world of feminine ideals in which many readers will discover a Victorian heritage. Readers may have the feeling that they have read it all before, but they will enjoy the quiet patrimony of English charm which the author settles on her people. The Happy Prisoner often trembles on the verge of sentimentality; what saves it from toppling over is Miss Dickens' ability to create characters who are intimately, almost tediously, convincing...
