Its five grey shanties squat in the heart of the "Roaring Third," Cleveland's worst slum. Its students, dressed in caps, windbreakers, overcoats, shriek at each other as they work, now & again break off for impromp tu boxing matches.

Faith for Living is his most piercing shriek to date. The book suggests that Author Mumford has been practically overrun by Nazis already and the U. S. will get its turn in a few minutes.
