The result may be radically different from the original prose work. And yet Dunne shows no signs of abandoning the silver screen or slackening his work at the typewriter.

But at root it is a minor contention. No one would seriously suggest that the resources freed up by even the most drastic retrenchment in federal requirements actually will dramatically facilitate the hiring...
