...cove trails without fear of rape, though perhaps not immune to seduction at early ages, and they don't depend on LSD or pot to send them. You hardly ever hear of an ulcer or a nervous breakdown in the hills. The only air pollution problem is the smell of wood smoke on a frosty day. I don't believe I've heard a word about draft dodging or antiwar demonstrations in the mountains. Honor, manhood and pride mean a lot to the hill people.

...wartime setting has ready at hand. Michel Simon plays the ancient in a triumph of humorous, humane acting-turning a Sunday lunch into a bibulous burlesque, hectoring his family, grumping at the BBC, and lecturing his little friend on some of the ways to tell a Jew ("They smell bad"). In his first movie role, young Alain Cohen survives country living and the reality of imbecile anti-Semitism with the help of two sharp eyes, an impish grin, and a pair of the most perkily prominent ears in France...

...over empty Hershey wrappers he spotted on the ground so that the brand name would show. His successors have also stuck to the soft sell. Their major promotion is openhanded hospitality to the 700,000 tourists a year who trek to Hershey, Pa.-"the town that chocolate built"- to smell the cocoa-scented air, photograph one another under the street sign at the Chocolate-Cocoa Avenue intersection, admire street lamps shaped like Hershey kisses and policemen uniformed in chocolate brown...
