...Nelson Rockefeller's mind, the oil companies were not alone in neglecting Latin America. The U.S. itself had scant contact south of the border, and with war coming, as he saw it, needed Western Hemisphere neighbor nations it hardly knew. Rockefeller put the blame on the State Department for not following up U.S. business entries into Latin America with higher-type diplomacy, said as much in a report he forwarded to White House Chamberlain Harry Hopkins. Hopkins read the report, showed it to Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt asked the 32-year-old Rockefeller to visit him. Upshot of the call...

Compact little Volkswagens, Austins, Simcas and British Fords scoot buglike along the roads, sit -and fit-snugly in many a next-door neighbor's garage, cut tight corners into supermarket parking slots.

In 1953 there was Barbara, a normal, vivacious girl of nearly ten. She was on her way to school when a neighbor saw her rise on her toes, stretch her arms and drop to the sidewalk, dead. In 1956 there was Billy, a strong, spirited boy of two. He was heard to sigh in bed one night and next morning was found dead. Of the four children born to Clarice and Edward...
...Lost Summer is simply a muted, chillingly written version of a tabloid story. Author Davis gets down to his novelist's business as Toni finds that her familiar world is steadily rotting away because of the unease felt by the people around her. An old neighbor lady whom she has known from childhood cuts her on the street. At her summer school her instructor barely disguises his leer. Her younger sister pruriently prods her with questions. And Stan Walters shifts rapidly from guilt and remorse to jealousy and suspicion, accuses her of having invited the attack. Gradually, Toni moves...
