John P. Marquand '15, Pulitzer prize-winning satirist of Boston's blue-bloods, does not feel he owes all his success to Harvard. "The greatest thing I got out of Harvard was an idea of what it might feel like to be cultivated," he said in an interview yesterday...
...problem as one to worry about, "until the Munich awakening made the British feel that they would go to war for much less than they would have during the twenties. And today, England is infinitely more alive to the danger than she was a week ago, because, for one thing, the prospect of a man breaking his work--witness Hitler--shocks the Britisher deeply...
...most striking thing in Mr, Rubenstein is the three-dimensional solidity of his bodies.

For another, it almost entirely lacks the pretentious, gassy, self-indulgent writing which has done so much to mar Odets' later work. He wrote Awake and Sing as an engrossed child of the theatre, before...
