In sweet songs, she sounds reedy and controlled. When she lets go, she squeezes her eyes in a kind of happy passion, and bounces discreetly, until the crowd thinks it knows just what she means...

His Manhattan office is run by Financial Expert Walter Saunders, onetime vice president of Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., which is one of Niarchos' heaviest...
...write about Negroes through Negro eyes and Negro mind, he makes a noble try. All the Kingdoms is presented by its author and its publishers as a novel, but it is more a loose-linked succession of anec dotes and characters. Written with re strained passion and sincere compassion, the book is a sociological blend of feeling and outrage reminiscent of Alan Paton's more powerful hymn to the blacks of South Africa, Cry, the Beloved Country...
