...doubt anybody could sell me on such a theory. But if anyone could, it certainly wouldn't be Larteguy. The problem, as I suggested above, is that The Centurions is a very bad novel. Larteguy has allowed his venomous feelings towards France and his intoxication with the military to overwhelm his book...
...maintain this stand "unless there is a new judgment by the Supreme Court." But no legal test is now under way, so the issue will be fought out in Congress. As he did in a similar statement last year, Cardinal Spellman has signaled a rising Catholic pressure that can overwhelm the President's bill by adding Northern Catholic Democratic votes to basic Republican-Southern Democrat opposition...

But Mao Tse-tung treats economic problems exactly as he would an enemy's main line of resistance: by ordering forward a human wave to storm and overwhelm it. He conceded that the farms desperately needed chemical fertilizer, machines of all sorts and skilled labor. His solution: let the farmers do it themselves through the commune system...
...From the chemists' laboratories there has come no drug that will selectively attack viruses while sparing the cells in which they seek sanctuary. But nature suggests that there is a way. If it takes days or weeks for protective antibodies to develop, why does not the pullulating virus overwhelm all the victim's susceptible cells in the meantime? London's Dr. Alick Isaacs last year found a partial answer. Virus-infected cells produce a substance that Isaacs calls interferon, which spreads to neighboring, uninfected cells. With their interferon guard up, these cells are unusually resistant to viral...

The sparkling Nocturne (Tennyson), cleverly humorous Hymn (Ben Johnson), and serene Sonnet (Keats) received especially fine treatment...
