...aging Scotch whiskey have now been buried in "abandoned caves and other remote and inaccessible places." Lord Rosebery, who has a tasteful appreciation for good art, good horses and good whiskey, ruefully added: "A single enemy plane . . . with no idea of specific target, dropped a single bomb which fell plumb on . . . 70,000 gallons. That shows what we're up against...
...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.

Since Pearl Harbor, no outside reporter or photographer has been allowed a peek inside Alaska. As one correspondent in Alaska puts it: "You people back in the 'old country' just plumb don't know the meaning of the word censorship." 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...
