Such honesty has led hostile critics to hint that Mauriac is essentially a refined sensualist who, from motives of caution or guilt, takes care to renew his option with God. Mauriac, in a brief essay appended to The Loved and the Unloved, replies in a voice of deep humility: "Though, quite often, Grace does 'break in' [to his books], it has tended to do so less and less as I have grown older ...

...renew production, however, Brattle must have $20,000 to pay old debts and fill the gaps in personnel. While contributors have pledged $10,000 the Brattle Corporation may have to sell the theatre if it does not get the other half, which can only come from outside subscriptions, within the next few weeks. To encourage larger contributions, Brattle has followed the Symphony's example, reorganizing itself into a non-profit corporation, so that gifts are tax-deductable.

After the party, 37 of them were driven to the Assembly hall and furnished a silent, glum quorum while the 60-man pro-Rhee minority voted unanimously for their boss...
Phil Murray called on the steel companies to renew the bargaining process, and big steel was willing to talk. Just where this would lead, no one knew. Originally, the union had asked for a union shop and for wage and fringe benefits which would eventually cost the company about 35? per man-hour (present average hourly wage: $1.83). The Wage Stabilization Board recommended 26.1?, plus the union shop; the union gleefully agreed. Steel company officials offered 17.6? (no union shop), said that they could not pay the proposed 26.1? increase unless the controlled price of steel was raised...
