...very much shocked when I read the article . . . Are we who read this to understand that such teaching is accepted on the school curriculum by the Board of Education there? . . . Anyone with any normal amount of intelligence isn't going to believe such trash ! "Trash" is certainly the only word for this entire idea. "Love" certainly isn't even connected with such filth...
...idea that Soviet agriculture is going through a normal stage in the transition from low-value to high-value production simply will not hold water. There is nothing normal about this highly artificial situation.

...wing in World War II, but to watch him shyly fumbling, in his usual screen style, at the controls of the world's fanciest yo-yo may give less comfort to his friends than to his country's enemies. Actress June Allyson, who looks so normal it almost seems she was not born but arrived by statistics, has been Jimmy's wife before (in The Stratton Story and The Glenn Miller Story), and by now she can play the part in her sleep. Sometimes, in fact, she seems to do so. Frank Lovejoy, who plays General Curtis...
