...great interests in tomorrow's world. (1944) Perhaps it might be possible to renew Franco-Russian solidarity in some fashion, which, even if repeatedly betrayed and repudiated, remains no less a part of the natural order of things both with regard to the German danger and the Anglo-Saxon efforts to assert their hegemony. (1944) I am convinced that if France took the initiative to summon Europe to organize itself, in particular with German help, the whole European atmosphere from the Atlantic to the Urals would be changed...
...impossible to decide who gets top honors among the cast.

Charlotte Eakin as Miss Hardcastle, the "bar-maid," and Steve Botein as her father, imposing and imposed upon, give less consistent performances, but their roles are much longer and more difficult.

Much opposition and little chance of quick success loom for Saxon's major proposals, which require congressional approval. But where new department regulations alone will suffice, Saxon promises fast action. He will demand regular financial reporting by national banks in what he sees as a way to increase shareholder confidence, will allow stock option plans for bankers to attract high-caliber executives, and relax restrictions on stock dividends...
