...looks as if TIME'S book reviewers would realize that they are confirming C. Wright Mills's suspicion that America is well on its way to hell when they give, in the April 30 issue, nothing but cheers to Franchise Sagan's "tale of extramarital fun" and nothing but sneers to Upton Sinclair's "temperance tract." How can the American people be other than "morally bankrupt" when the men who help to mold opinion (such as TIME'S book reviewers) operate under the code that naughty is nice, good is glum...
...European powers, linked with Canada and the U.S. The spirit of this arrangement should not exclude Russia and the Eastern European states.

Last week the Senate and the House passed and sent to President Eisenhower a bill that would apply stringent curbs. Directed at the 39 U.S. companies that control two or more banks apiece, the bill would make them get rid of all their nonbanking interests, and would forbid buying new banking properties without approval of the Federal Reserve Board. Primary purpose of the bill is to protect independent banks from the interstate branch...
