...setting is pure beer commercial. The Carolina Military Institute is Dixieland's picture-postcard answer to West Point. It is gruff-talking and hard-hitting, a sort of boot camp Shaeffer City. Everyone talks a lot about producing the sort of real men who will put flabby America back on track...
Martin and O'Brien's nicknames exemplify the book's trite symbolism. At the book's start "A.M." is the pure, Catholic woman, P.M. the lecherous man. A.M., like day, represents good and opens Chicago politics to the light of public scrutiny, while P.M. is a reporter on the take, leaving the dealings of this sponsors in darkness and symbolizing the evil of the evening.

They eventually went into the fruit business in Wabasso, Fla. Graves married Beryl Hodge, had four more children and continued...
Consequently, the Gandhi we get is pure moral force. He exists without beginning or end, even if at the beginning of the film he wears a tie and his Hindu religiosity has not fully appeared, and at the end of it he is assassinated. His character has a marmoreal smoothness throughout; he lacks all the chinks in personality which would indicate to us his humanity and instead we have to find that in his paltry frame. In fact, the closest the movie approaches to any substantive character development comes early on, when in South Africa Gandhi pushes his wife around...
