Washington last week had a sample of that extraordinary man, who, like some astonishing Shakespearean character, full of great speeches and thundering images, appears only when the going gets hard. In 1940 he was hailing the merging of American and British interests: "Let it roll. Let it roll on in full flood, inexorable, irresistible, benignant, to broader lands and better days." By the end of 1941 he watched it rolling. U.S.-British cooperation, that had seemed a dim hope after Dunkirk had become a living reality...

...numerous Government agencies that wanted it. CBS elected to tell, each week, the story of whatever U.S. Government activity was uppermost in the news. Assigned to the job were CBS's clearheaded Washington correspondent, Albert L. Warner, and a producerdirector, Brewster Morgan, who had directed a Shakespearean theater in England, worked in Hollywood, got radio down cold in the Columbia Workshop...

Backed up by the superbly restrained performance of delicate, big-eyed Martha Scott, Fredric March poses, postures, struts his Shakespearean dignity to his heart's sweet content.

Full of years and honors, rich in curious lore and master if lethal epigram, an archetype of the New England schoolmaster has crossed over to where the Shakespearean-Baconian controversy has long since been settled. No that it ever troubled George Lyman Kittredge, Gurney professor of English at Harvard University ("I will admit that Bacon wrote them if you will tell me who wrote Bacon"), for he had better use for his time. Jack Macy used to do an impersonation of Kittredge (in "Kitty's" presence), excoriating every known editor of Shakespeare. I have been too busy for the pawst...
