There's no doubt that Buechler has an eye for detail and a feeling for character, and thus it is a pity that he clouds what he has to say by a garbled narrative that is neither stream-of-consciousness nor adult conversation nor childhood recall. Although this style intrigued me to the point of distraction, I did gather that Buechler's story was an attempt to conjure up the spirit of the men who left their homes to join the Lincoln Brigade and fight Franco. I don't think the deep and unseeing idealism of these men quite comes...
...stream of earnings reports reached flood stage last week, it appeared that 1955's first quarter was the best ever for many U.S. corporations. The combined first-quarter earnings of 484 corporations was 27.2% higher than for the same period a year ago, dividend payments to stockholders were up 6%, and only 17 companies failed to show a profit...
...building is at least five years away, and meanwhile the student with a toothache is still down in the mouth, as it were. A steady stream of people who want their teeth cleaned or checked prevent him from getting an appointment when he needs one.

Of the total, only a relative few were permanently employed. But the estimates are that some 4,000,000 can eventually be rehabilitated and gainfully employed. Not only would...
This is an appealing little autobiographical sketch, now published in English, by a writer who was as close to the folk stream of East European Jewish life as blintzes and borsch. In countless stories (The Old Country, Adventures of Mattel) he humorously chronicled the bittersweet life of the late 19th-century eastern ghettos-pious, self-contained, but poised on the brink of a new Diaspora to Western Europe and America. Born Solomon Rabinowitz, and raised in the little village of Voronko, Russia, the hero of The Great Fair is a "pretty boy with fat red cheeks," who can convulse...
