...phony ring to it at times. There are other photographers besides Schulman and they are not all completely pedestrian. And I.N.P. does not always, as the book implies, come out on top in the race for what the trade calls "pix." But Where's Sammy? is highly readable, nevertheless. Sammy Schulman, 37, has trotted his five-by-five frame over much of the globe, seen a lot of history. He hopes to see more-Allied soldiers "walking down the Fifth Avenue of Tokyo," for example. Maybe he will. Luck seems to like...
...Nevertheless, Beichman was right. A day after denying that such organized hoodlumism existed in Boston, Saltonstall ordered State police to investigate, prevent further outbreaks. He appointed a committee of Catholics, Protestants and Jews to advise him on the problem. And when PM gleefully referred to Boston as a city "where the people talk only to Beichman but Beichman can't talk to the Gov.," fair-minded Governor Saltonstall backtracked some more.

He does not kindle, like a Boston Abolitionist, at one touch of the match. Nor would he blandly go to jail, like Thoreau, rather than pay taxes to a conscienceless Government. But if you provoke the Connecticut Yankee-or Wilbur Cross-you will discover that he is no softy...
...Nevertheless, every last word of The Republic is stimulating, vibrant, energetic. Beard makes a wonderful prodder, a wonderful Socrates. And in departing from the "economic interpretation of the Constitution," he does much to vindicate the moral disinterestedness of the Founding Fathers. When he is all through he has pretty well succeeded in making his readers believe that human beings have potentialities for fair dealing that transcend any question of their economic or social status...
