...take up several committee chairmanships won by the uphill fight of loyal and progressive Democrats." In Washington, Democratic Leader J. Howard McGrath gingerly refused to pick up Mrs. Roosevelt's hot potato. Most of the Dixiecrats were discreetly silent. In Manhattan, the trade sheet, Variety, printed a flattering review of the show: " [Mrs. Roosevelt] ranks with the standout commentators on the air ... She displays more courage and is more positive than most of the others put together. The surprising question is why ABC chose to spotlight this commentary [Mon., Wed., Fri., 10:45 a.m.] in a strictly hausfrau-slanted...

It forced them for a while to put out their own paper (the New York Review) to get publicity, and made them secretive ever after.

True, he makes a convincing summary in his first review of "Harvard's and Radcliffe's literary magazines in the recent past" but his conclusions are unclear.

And all those book reviews made things awkward around home (Oxford, Miss.): " 'Why look here,' they'll say, 'Bill Faulkner's gone and got his picture in the New York paper.' So they come around and try to borrow money, figuring...
...letter came Thursday from a Radcliffe girl called Anabel Handy who was angry about a review of Signature that had appeared on this page the day before. That review was written by me; and after due consideration of her letter, a profound scarch of my own soul, and deep thought about the nature of the universe, I have decided that there is but one course for a man of conscience and honesty to take. But being what I am, I can't face asking Miss Handy to take over my job starting Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Instead...
