...said Aramburu, "it would be the first country of South America." Instead, workers continue to demand wage hikes without boosting productivity, creating a "vicious circle" of rising prices. Unlike Brazil, which is developing "great industries with modern techniques and foreign financial aid." too many Argentines still spout "wornout slogans about nationalism, about the oligarchs, about statism. We are slipping backwards every...
...Strait, 30 miles up San Pablo Bay from San Francisco and the Golden Gate. At the sandy tip of a new superhighway pushing across the hills from Richmond to the industrial town of Crockett, an army of mammoth machines comes noisily to life; their motors growl and their exhausts spout blue fumes into the mountain air. Tough, broadnosed bulldozers hungrily tear up the soil; potbellied scrapers scoop and level it; lumbering compact-ers press it down with their massive weight. Directly before the machines looms a 500-ft. hill that stood in the way of the inland-bound gold seekers...
This is a novel about people with beer tastes and champagne incomes. They are the reverse of Oscar Wilde's cynics, for they know the value of everything and the price of almost nothing.

In the midst of a huge brawl between Gorky's uncles, the camera comes suddenly to rest on the spout of the tea service, which is soon discovered by Uncle Yakov who turns the service slightly so that the boiling water pours gently over Uncle Mikhail's hand. Donskoy is a magician at using montage; to accentuate the motion of his picture, he stops...
...comedy does not reach its funniest part until the second scene, a rehearsal of Puff's masterpiece. That play, a wonderful and absurd specimen of eighteenth century tragedy at its tearful best, gives a seemingly endless series of players a chance to rant and spout amusingly grand poetry. All the cast of the play within a play cannot be mentioned, though most of them deserve to be. Particularly outstanding are Nancy Curtis, who shines as the heroine, Eric Martin, as her father, Thomas Eldridge, in the part of Lord Hatton, and John Hallowell, as Leicester...
