The story of a woman's rescue from a Nazi concentration camp was bound to fit in beautifully with Hollywood's new taste for social significance; and filmed with the inimitable MGM touch of authenticity, it could not miss its mark. It did not, but neither did it displace "The Mortal Storm" as by far the most credible and exciting Nazi-blaster ever flashed across the American screen...

We are told that the French are starving, but we are told in statistical terms that convey no connotations of human suffering. Belgium, Holland, and Poland we suspect to be wastelands. The latest tragedy, the Rumanian cartilage, has been received in this country with calmness and even with rejoicing...

Other famous consumptives: Pope, Dr. Johnson, Shelley, Goethe, Schiller, Descartes, Balzac, Rousseau, Spinoza, Kant, Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Chekhov, Dostoevski, a brow-wrinkling list of other writers and thinkers. Doctors suspect that tuberculosis develops genius because 1) apprehension of death inspires a burning awareness of life's beauty, significance, transience, 2) the bacillus breeds restlessness and an intoxicated hypersensitiveness...
