...predict. It is even harder to foretell is hard to predict. It is even harder to foretell when these new sentiments will make themselves felt. But, if these surveys can be regarded in any way as prophetic, one thing seems sure: the new generation of voters will cause a profound change in the ideas and principles that compose the American body politic...
...Certainly his views are now "inadequately represented" in the English department, and he can be justly called a "thoughtful rebel," a type of scholar whom President Conant declared essential to education in a speech at Amherst four years ago. If this university is to be consistent with the most profound recent expression of its liberal attitude it should make Mr. Hicks a member of its staff...
...Profound distrust of Franklin Roosevelt's foreign policy inspired Mr. Garner, who thinks that the less Democrats say about it, the better for him or any other Democratic candidate for President in 1940.

David Niven as Scottie, the happy-go-lucky fight leader, steals acting honors even from Basil Rathbone, who gives a profound interpretation of the nerve-ridden squadron commander. Errol Flynn is of course a dashing, handsome hero, but even his acting is at times excellent. Skillful direction has made intensely moving the pathos, and vividly contrasting the humor, of the simple plot--which deals merely with the day to day experiences...
