Back in Switzerland, after the war began, Foote transmitted such information as the Russian network could pick up about the German army's order of battle (strength and disposition of forces). He claims that one colleague, whose cover name was "Lucy," obtained complete Wehrmacht dispositions during the war. If so, and if the Russians credited the information from Switzerland, they need seldom have been surprised.

All the publicity in the world can't save "Mother Is A Freshman." "Act of Violence," left to survive on its own merits, is a good melodrama, the strength of which lies in the conflict between the two principals and the resulting suspense...
