You say the cost per person at Portillo Hotel is $9 a day with meals, while Idaho's Sun Valley Lodge costs $22 per day without meals, with an inference that this cost is the lowest rate. This is definitely not correct. The lowest rates at Sun Valley Lodge last winter for single occupancy in bachelors' quarters were $6.50 a day without bath. . . .

We think it is possible to find a form of union which will preserve all the good in the denominational...
Several of the performances are first-rate. Canada Lee plays with dignity and fervor one of the few thoroughly unpatronizing screen roles ever given a Negro. Lilli Palmer is a sensitive and lovely actress. John Garfield, having dropped some of his Dead End mannerisms, gives a good performance that is as hard and simple as a rock...
