...critics were too rough, flailed original dramas more harshly than run-of-the-hoof westerns. Robert Alan Arthur (Man on a Mountain Top) denounced "an incredibly brutal dismissal" of a recent production of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness by the New York Times's J. P.

Vanderbilt of New Jersey, cannot account entirely for the President's choice...
