...their books on France, Andre Malraux, Albert Guerard (pere), Genevieve Tabouis (of the leftist L'Oeuvre), and the Popular Front's Minister of Air Pierre Cot argued that the doctrinaire opposition of these men to the Third Republic--their verbal and physical violence against it--had demoralized the French: in incompetence of her generals in the brief military campaign only made more swift the country's by then inevitable collapse. Since many on the Right went on to become collaborators with the Germans--at least in associating themselves with the Vichy government--and since, after the Liberation, almost...
...suffragan bishop of the nation's most blueblooded Episcopal diocese is the son of a dining-car waiter on the Pere Marquette Railroad. Upon his consecration two weeks ago as one of the two auxiliaries to Boston Bishop Anson Phelps Stokes Jr., the Rt. Rev John Melville Burgess became the first Negro† ever to serve the Protestant Episcopal Church as spiritual leader in a predominantly white diocese...
...enter these rooms through the hatchway; the camera hovers overhead like a voyeur, and the four walls vibrate with a new personality. The most fascinating of the four passengers is Pere Jules (Michel Simon), a crusty old naval Caliban who exists totally on a physical level.

Pere Jules' room, though the most cluttered, suggests wide horizons and exotic places to the innocent young wife, just as Pere Jules, though subhuman, represents the furthest reaches of human experience, particularly on a sensual level. He enchants her with his stories, and then wrestles here roughly into bed. The cats leap about hysterically...
...impossible hour, admittedly, but not devoid of its virtues: H.M. Jones is offering what is probably the last year of his epic Hum 133a (Thought and Literature in the Nineteenth Century) which marshals, among others. Pere Goriot, Wuthering Heights, Sartor Resartus, Bleak House, Faust, and The Red and the Black into a tidy and orderly cultural unity. Professor Myron Gilmore, the hour's other virtue, presents three disunited centuries (roughly, 1300-1600) in an even stiffer course, his History 130: "The Age of the Renaissance and Reformation." Devious Machiavelli and the sainted Thomas More top the reading list...
