Your magazine has often handled news of England with a sneer, and for the past year, the sneer has become a snarl. Your article "The Conspiracy" hit a new depth of prejudice. You use supposition, ridiculous insinuation and obvious malice to come to an appalling conclusion . . . This is not a time for separating the free world, but a time for strengthening our alliances...
...rich, intellectual boys should make a game of murder. Levin is not content with this explanation. He points out that Friedrich Nietzsche had introduced them to the idea of the superman, "beyond good and evil." A really superior man, they reasoned-in one of those gloomy blunders which snarl up the scribbled notebook of adolescence-could put himself above and beyond society by the successful commission of a pointless crime. They burned sheds, robbed fraternity houses, cheated at cards; and their IQs were among the highest in all the Midwest. Murder would really prove their superiority. So they made...
...Wife Marilyn was getting mixed no tices. From her old (69) acquaintance, Poetess Dame Edith Sitwell, with whom La Monroe sipped gin and grapefruit juice, came a highbrow huzza: "She's quite remarkable!"

...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...
