...Muscadine has to say. The rest of the 335 pages reveal (in the words of the jacket) how "Martha ... a mere slip of a girl. . . began to learn the things about her husband that so many Southern women in slavery days had to know and bear in silence." Mississippian Kirk McLean is not only "downright fond" of scuppernong wine, he is also the father of at least two quadroons. One day a disgruntled and sulking yellow girl flavors the family tea with a dash of king's yellow, or orpiment, an arsenious pigment. Somebody dies, and the girl...
Other Harvard men who placed were: Pat McCormick who arrived fifth in the 45-yard hurdles; Andrew Lockett tied with Andrew Kirk of Penn for fifth in the pole vault at 12 feet, 6 inches; Robert Forsyth finished third in the 35-pound weight throw with a 53 feet, 11 1/2 inch toss; and Howard Reed placed fourth with a heave of 51 feet 5 7/8 inches; Donald Trimble finished fifth in the shotput with a throw of 48 feet, 9 inches; David Carter jumped 22 feet, 6 inches to place third in the broad jump; and John Harrigan...

...running off with your husband tonight." The action is then in flashbacks in which each wife recalls her married life to see if it has been such a failure as to force her husband to leave her. The best episode is the one involving Ann Southern and Kirk Doughlas. In it, Mankiewiez, through Douglas, makes a keen and cogent attack on the social status of the school teacher in America and on the candy-coated moralities daily gushing forth from the radio. Nothing is said, or shown, on these subjects, or any other in the film, that must not have...
