...took it upon himself to decide that the three defendants who were acquited by the Court should have been convicted, and that others should have received heavier sentences than the Court saw fit to give them. We appointed the Court to decide these very questions, and we must now respect its judgment even if we do not like it. Let us not forget that it was the Nazis who did not hesitate to overrule a judge when his decision did not please them! Frank H. David...
...these proponents was the U.S. State Department. Byrnes's position is that war is not necessarily inevitable, even if the U.S. fails "to get along with Russia."

Winant); has shown an intelligent, sympathetic, effective understanding of Britain's position and policy...
...limited as the lives of its characters-whose sole ambition is to dig and own their own well. Author Wernher eschews all flights of fancy, all personal philosophizing; her canvas has nothing of the breadth, her prose nothing of the lugubrious weight of The Good Earth. With intelligence and respect she enumerates the everyday joys and sorrows of a people who know all there is to know about the soil, nothing whatever about the British Empire or the atom bomb...
