...back in vogue, suggesting that reactionary elements are freely at work in the pop music field. Prague's favorite tune last week was Come on Grandma, Teach Me the Charleston. Sample lyric: Grandma, leave the pullover alone. There is still plenty of time till Christmas. I'll knit half a yard for you tomorrow, If you come and teach me the Charleston...
Jacqueline Brooks, Bernard Kessel and Edward Higgins cleverly explored the depths of thestock-types they presented. Dean Gitter was good when he wasn't reverting to Willy Loman. And Hillier should be praised for the atmosphere of smooth informality in which he knit the scenes together. It was not until Crawling Arnold, however, that he seemed confident with his material, and didn't feel impelled to superimpose dramatic trickery...

"The Battle of the Marne was one of the decisive battles of the world," she writes, "not because it determined that Germany would ultimately lose or the Allies ultimately win the war, but because it determined that the war would go on. Afterward there was no turning back. The nations were caught in a trap, a trap made during the first thirty days out of battles that failed to be decisive...
