...poetry is one the whole unexciting, A. E. Keir Nash's "Der Blaue Reiter" uses some very effective imagery in portraying the imaginative travels of a little boy on a wooden horse. Sallie Bingham seems to take a rather ambivalent attitude toward "The Young Girls," who "love in prudent silence on the frozen ground." Some allusions which bring to mind the Seven Dwarfs ("And start to work with soap, and heavy towels . . .") weaken the poem considerably. In his poem about Perseus, William Teunis describes the gods as "con-vanished," so it is somewhat jarring when they reappear "slamming the doors...
...against the imprisonment of prominent resistance leaders in Rumania. His companions were armed with automatic weapons and grenades, he warned, and would resist "until death" because they knew that there was no escape for them. Searching him, cops found papers he had scooped up in the legation. After a prudent interval, the Swiss diplomatically returned the papers to Chargé d'Affaires Stoffel...
...animal Author Nathan is really aiming at, of course, is man; in the shape of Sir Henry, he makes a fine target. No longer young, prudent Sir Henry is just a run-of-the-mill knight who wears old-fashioned armor, travels with a hot-water bottle and suffers from nosebleed after battle.

The prudent economy of the "old Yankee," as Saltonstall is sometimes pictured in his campaign posters, is a little useless when it weakens the nation. Such policies led to significant loss of U.S. prestige when the country was asked to put up or shut up in Indo-China...
...following day Hazel made her crashing entrance into the U.S., ripping at fishing piers and crumpling bungalows along the Carolina coast. Eighty big Navy vessels fled to sea from Norfolk, Va., while military planes scrambled for safe airports as far away as Kansas. In Washington the General Services Administration, prudent and economical, ordered flags hauled down from most federal buildings; one left up on the Capitol was whipped to shreds. Chicken houses in rural Maryland collapsed by the hundreds, and incubator stoves set the wreckage on fire. The windy night was rosy with flame, and terrified, liberated hens flapped through...
