Dulles moved on to blunt the newest anti-Dulles campaign: the argument that he is too rigid an anti-Communist to permit a parley with the U.S.S.R. "The truth is quite the contrary," said he.

In this case, a gondolier rashly falls in love with a beautiful English girl whose snobbery is so intense that it simply does not occur to her that a mere gondolier could aspire...
...clear sentences. Despite the repulsive midden from her imagination, there is a kind of dirty-faced innocence about the book, and an undeniable storytelling ability. Half-illiterate when she wrote the novel, Berthe Grimault had help from a village postmaster who barbered the grammar, laundered the sex. Currently, a proper laundering is in process: at the Grove, a British finishing school, the staff is trying to get Berthe to behave as if she were less familiar with country matters...
