...heels. When two of the men were dirty, the lieutenant ordered public sand baths. When a 24-year-old law-school graduate who had taken one of the sand baths fell exhausted after doing pushups, Lieut. Anderson ordered him covered with dirt and a cross placed in his mouth. "If he wanted to act like he was dead, I wanted to let him look like he was dead." Last week Lieut. Anderson was brought to trial. A court of ten professional soldiers took one hour and 56 minutes to decide that he was guilty of maltreatment of enlisted men, conduct...
...that you may lead a more worthy proletarian life. You learn to dress shabbily in drab colors, like the others, and to put your children to work. If you do not, your taxes are raised. You learn to be enthusiastic. If you are not, they will whisper from mouth to mouth in your village that you want to be rich, that you are a reactionary.

Eliot seems to rasp at life itself, looking at men as living only in so far as they have not yet been buried. Yet with all his well-fifed madrigals of death and desolation, Eliot longs after life...
...living as a brewer and innkeeper. Frans Hals, as great a virtuoso of the brush as ever lived, put clear understanding into his Jolly Toper (opposite). The Toper (which remarkably resembles Actor Van Heflin in the role of Athos of the Three Musketeers) has the eyes and mouth of any man on the higher slopes of inebriation. If universality was Hals's hallmark, particularity was that of Pieter de Hooch. Not one artist working today could make a tennis match on a Westchester estate, for example, come as alive as De Hooch's Game of Skittles...
