Virginius Dabney has arrived at his liberal views by patient, thoughtful effort and constant conflict with his patrician heritage. His editorials, ground out with painful slowness, are almost pedantically preoccupied with both sides of the question. They are invariably prosaic and humorless.

For six weeks Army Coach Blaik had carefully nursed his blessings, polishing his flashing T attack, proving his line, patiently pre paring for a payoff.
