First to make ready is Birmingham's godfather, T. C. I. Last week, as Alabama steel mills roared at 100% of capacity (Iron Age said 109%), tall, redheaded, reticent T. C. I. Chief Robert Gregg announced the 18-month expansion which will boost his pig-iron capacity more than 20% to over 2,000,000 tons. Steelman Gregg will add one blast furnace (boosting Alabama's active total to 191, renovate 18 standing open-hearth furnaces, build 70 coke ovens, install a 140-inch plate mill, modernize all mining operations...
...Porter's transition from virtue to villainy took place in the course of seven weeks. To begin with, he was the kindly chum of Linda Dale, whose husband, a wealthy mill owner, had skipped out on her.

Ring Lardner has offered little more than an obvious plot and some run-of-the-mill dialogue. But Joe isn't interested in laughter of the mind. His purpose, stated in a beautiful little speech after the last curtain, is to hit the audience around the heart. "Elmer The Great" may be a simple play about simple people but it is fine refreshment in a troubled world...

The Harvard professors have laid down no long range program, nor defined "defense" any more precisely than in their original statement of aims.
