...Casablanca's" most memorable features into "To Have and Have Not." Bogart plays the same outwardly embittered and egocentric but inwardly sympathetic hero in both, and both plots concentrate on the efforts of the other characters to enlist his desperately needed "hard resourcefulness" on the side of the anti-Nazi underground. The center of the action in both movies is a saloon that employs a wise and loyal piano player and a patriotic, emotional bartender. Both films include a hated Nazi (or Vichy) officer, an admired underground leader and his beautiful wife who need Bogart's help, a vicious...

At last the West German government has figured out what to do with the remainder of their vast personal collections, which for the past 20 years have festered unseen in the dark basement of a classicistic pile in Munich designed fittingly by Hitler himself...

The Communist "network of perceptions and association and interpretations," she writes, "made the Nazi-Fascists seem like hogs rooting among the simple, unimproved beech mast of the world." She also makes the cogent point that the well-publicized...
