...mother raised him so correctly: I agree wholeheartedly that love can only exist "within the confines of marriage," as Graham says. I adore his word choice. Confine is such a good word. And his logic is still unsurpassed. Everyone knows that Adam and Eve's "rebellion against God" concerned more than the eating of an apple. Sex, I believe, was the issue. His observation is adroitly followed with the comment, "[sex is] something that God gave us." Ah, what a mystery is God-and Dr. Graham, for that matter...

They supplied their own typewriters, accepted salaries ranging downward from $80 a week-in the case of a dropout reporter from the Chicago Daily News, the remuneration of $7.25 for three weeks' work on an investigative story later picked up by the overground press...
This year, two movies about black rebellion have imitated film classics of the Irish revolution. Up Tight (TIME, Jan. 3) was based on The Informer; The Lost Man is a darkened copy of Odd Man Out. The transatlantic temptation is all too understandable, for as a French revolutionist observed, "The poor are the Negroes of Europe." Nonetheless, the Irish fiction grew from a native soul and soil. The Lost Man is a legitimate and anguished cry that suffers in translation...
