...brothers snarl their dislike of each other, but for propriety's sake, Gotten agrees to let Van stick around in disguise until the river subsides. But now the emotional tides begin rising. Cotten's wife (Ruth Roman), who has been moping because she can't have a baby, and therefore-by Hollywood logic-is losing her husband to the light señoritas across the border, begins to get curious about Van. So do the fast-living neighbors. All this prying, and Cotten's refusal to send money to Van's family, make Van unreasonable...

...Underdog Snarl. Most of Weill's early opera music was the song of Berlin between the wars, the city that Christopher Isherwood wrote about in the Berlin Stories-starvation side by side with luxury, Nazi and Communist bullyboys in the streets, cynicism as heavy as the makeup on the faces of the omnipresent prostitutes. The Threepenny Opera echoed that city. Vaguely based on John Gay's 18th century original, the German libretto by Poet Bert Brecht (now a propaganda wheel in East Germany) had a vicious underdog snarl ("First fill our bellies, then talk morality") and magnificent, vulgar...

Since relinquishing the Georgia governor's chair, Herman Talmadge has had little to do but snarl defiantly at the Supreme Court. As the self-appointed prophet of the Jim Crow forces, he has burned at white heat ever since what he terms the "calamitous action" of the Supreme Court in May 1954. Mr. Talmadge has now taken it upon himself to write a bible for his disciples. In a small volume, You and Segregation, the fiery demagogue describes the deadly sins--i.e., the Supreme Court, the NAACP, and bloc voting...

...this action the H.A.A. cites its recent (unwilling) concession to the downtrodden, its belated permission for WHRB to broadcast football games. Everyone knows, however, that this is merely a delaying tactic. Midway through the season as the heard sit in their cups, quietly listening to the game, a rapacious snarl will interrupt their befogged meditations, and a glib WHRB will broadcast no more...
