...Yanks second best in something. Aluminium is not so much a Canadian company as a truly international one. Its founders came from Pittsburgh, its plants span 30 countries from Japan to Africa, and 85% of its sales are made in more than 100 foreign nations. Says President Nathanael Vining Davis, 47, a Harvard-educated ('38) U.S. citizen: "Canada can use only 15% of our output. We have to sell the rest of it to the world...
...convinced that he will be the sole human survivor of nuclear attack that he builds an ark in his back yard and stocks it with animals. Author Marcus writes of them with a compassion untainted by sentimentality. Like a somewhat similar writer, Hollywood's late Nathanael West (The Day of the Locust), he has a quick eye and a sharp ear. Nothing finally happens to his characters; they are merely suspended before the reader for a moment in time, and they disappear into a future no more hopeful than their past.

The show, to be called "Montclair in Manhattan," should be as good a survey of nonabstract American art as New Yorkers will...

Scott Fitzgerald, even Mickey Spillane, but in this, his 13th book, he sounds more like a kind of slick-paper Nathanael West, without that gifted writer's savage humor. His story is wired to the tangled nerve ends of the collection of oddballs and misfits who stumbled in unrelieved bewilderment through The Field of Vision, including a sagging, dyspeptic housewife who stands weepingly on varicose-veined legs over the kitchen...
