...Though Lord Beaver-brook's opinions color much of the news in the Express, the paper also reports many events that contravene his editorial views. And in The Beaver's Evening Standard, Cartoonist David Low goes right on poking fun at The Beaver's ruggedly individualistic stand. But Lord Beaverbrook's strictures on the U.S. have convinced many a Briton that the Daily Express is consciously and consistently anti-American. Actually it is friendly toward the U.S., but hostile to much of its policy and actions. The total impression the Express gives is that what...

In practice, more careful grading and commenting on papers would...

Many of the same people who, in the 1930s, had been stirred by reports of Nazi concentration camps, refused to face the unpleasant fact that Russia used them too. Now Gliksman, who found himself in a Siberian labor camp after Poland was carved up by Hitler and Stalin, tells the story of that experience with a better chance of attention. The book is an unadorned record of human suffering...
