...evident delight of first-nighters at London's Globe Theater last week, Roman Catholic Author Greene proved as good as his word. The Complaisant Lover, in a sparkling production directed by Sir John Gielgud, flaunted none of the theologizing that pervades The Living Room and The Potting Shed; not once were sin and grace wheeled explicitly into battle during a soul's dark night. Instead, Greene's latest is a secular "black comedy" moving from glossy front-room comedy to boudoir farce to the tender pathology of love...

After getting out of the kitchen in 1924, he spent several unpaid years as co-owner and co-editor of the venerable (founded in 1848), unprofitable Independent, self-styled "Journal of Free Opinion." In Independent editorials, Herter crusaded for clean government, urged the U.S. to "shed its isolationist fears" and join the League of Nations. In 1929-30, after selling his interest in the Independent, he lectured at Harvard on international relations. Then, by what he calls a "pure fluke," he got into politics...
