...effect has a somewhat ploppy, India-rubberlike impact. Playwright Inge's most definitive quality-his feeling for human lostness-becomes a little too insistent. It does not emerge from the characters; it tends, instead, to shape them. In the circumstances, the play's very title becomes too overt...
Second Mayflower. Beyond all these worries Jack Kennedy must stand for Senate re-election next year. The fact in itself is simple-but the problem is peculiar. To be sure, Kennedy has Democratic enemies, covert and overt, in Massachusetts.

But in general, the thing to be, on the subject of art-or on any subject, for that...
...communist future in which they allegedly believe. The fight is a class struggle between the exploiters and the exploited people, i.e., between capitalists and communists. The stories of the second world war belong in this group because according to communist ideology (as expressed by Dimitrov: "Fascism is the overt, terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinist and most imperialist elements of finance-capitalism."), they were fighting against the unmasked capitalists during World...
