...well-known story of earnest, hu mane AMG Major Joppolo, who made democracy work in Fascist-ridden Adano, and of bullying General Marvin who bounced him for defying the General's undemocratic orders, is a timely parable, limited in its black-&-white simplicity but illuminating. The play has all the book's affirmation, but not enough of its anger-for one thing, because General Marvin is nothing more than a first-act offstage below and never becomes a visible antagonist. Squeezing the whole life of the Sicilian town into Joppolo's office also carries penalties: some things...
...John L. Lewis still packs a wallop. His luxurious mane is streaked with grey; he is still saddened by the death two years ago of his wife Myrta; he has given up smoking, and now just chews cigars down to two-inch butts.

Solemnly stepping through their paces, the Senators first received the House-passed Marcantonio bill, which would outlaw the poll tax in eight Southern states.

As he pushed his way through a swarm of newshawks and photographers Tom Connally of Texas, whose appearance reminds some of an oldtime Shakespearean actor...
Marshal Stalin is 5 ft. 5 in. tall. But there was magnetism and a certain majesty in the figure with the brushlike mane, iron-grey mustache, a bright Marshal's uniform which was slightly too large for a perfect fit. In all that he did and said, he was quiet, impassive, at times almost immobile. He walked smoothly, effortlessly into every reception and meeting of the Conference. Sophisticated diplomats said that when he passed them in the gardens their hair rose and they quivered. He spoke softly, often in low whispers. To his hearers, his words seemed to come...
