...somehow contemporary and kin to Da Vinci and Michelangelo. Yet a band of conspirators, whose faith was a tenth as old as the simple stone cross in a village church, could capture these works and values-capture the very proofs that man, forever stained by blood and mud, could nevertheless be humble, free and great...
...production, the report seemed conservative. There are now 58,000,000 employed and the gross national product is running at the rate of about $195 billion ($166 billion in 1944 prices). The report expects that the present working force will drop as some of the overfull employment is eliminated.

If the episodic nature of the narrative is admitted, each individual sequence has independent unity of pace. The coronation of young Ivan, the sacking of Tartar Kazan, a deathbed scene which ably reproduces the oriental mysticism of medieval Russian Christianity, and the loneliness of Ivan's old age as his princes desert to the jackals baying around his borders--all these make striking individual images. Unfortunately, they are strung together in ponderous disunity and confusion...
