...Edward Plumb's background music is expertly keyed into the production, but none of Bambi's four songs (best: Let's Sing a Gay Little Spring Song) is notable. Some innovations are. For the first time, Disney has done his backgrounds in oils instead of watercolors. The result is striking. The russet reds, browns, bright yellows, make autumn look like autumn. Each season has a special color impact. The colors are softer, more alive and, with the aid of the multiplane camera, give the picture solidity, the forest a three-dimensional depth...

The Office of Censorship has even made a "special request" that the press services submit all stories about Alaskan military operations or installations for censorship before publication...
Snootv stores from Coast to Coast ordered a relaxation of snide sales approaches, began to direct their advertising plumb at plebeians. Bullock's Wilshire, tony Los Angeles department store, went after war-workers' dollars; Macy's, New York's people's store, waved farewell to the bon ton trade. Phonograph shops discovered a new kind of customer: not young swing collectors, not symphony lovers, but plain people asking for Old Black Joe and My Old Kentucky Home...
Short Kick. Archie Wavell was plumb wore out. He had run the Italians out of Libya and East Africa, had had his men run out of Greece and Crete, had sent some mechanized snails into Iraq and Syria. He had worked like a Trojan. One day he would stand on a hill in Eritrea straining his one good eye through a one-barreled glass, peering across at the Eyeties' vulnerabilities; next day he would stir up his field staff in Sidi Barrãni; then he would calm the fears of Egyptian politicians; fly to Crete; visit headquarters...
