...guns less defiladed by stacks and superstructure than any of her forebears, has a mighty slug in her guns, plenty of speed to dodge while the battle is on. Her successors will go farther still. But none will go so far as the dreamboat design put out by Industrial Stylist George W. Walker of Detroit. He went all the way, streamlined his ship like an airplane, put his main battery in mushroom turrets, massed bridge and stack into a bulletlike island alongside a launching deck for aircraft. It was another vision. But no man could reasonably say that the battleship...

Its preface was by lynx-eyed George Sylvester Viereck, who gets $1,000 a month as "adviser and literary stylist" for the German Library of Information (official propaganda agents) and as representative for the Neueste Nachrichten.

...first question that Franklin Roosevelt is reported to have asked Harry Hopkins after his return from England was: "Who writes Churchill's speeches for him?" It is well known that Stylist Churchill writes his own speeches. But the chiefs keep a jealous literary eye on one another, and the President may have feared that Churchill had a bigger gun in his pocket than Archibald MacLeish. For Washington newshawks credit the Librarian of Congress with writing much of the Third Inaugural and more than one cozy Fire side Chat. This week they scanned the two latest MacLeish prose books...
