...there is nothing very new, neither is there anything repetitive, a testament to the ingenuity with which O'Hara mines the invented earth of Gibbsville, Pa., and the ugly towns of eastern New Jersey. As usual, the social range of his characters-from the carriage trade to tradesmen who sell carriages-is wider than their moral range, which is the few degrees between halfway-decent and not-very-nice...
Just one little demurrer. TIME credited the builders, architects, designers, planners for this unprecedented achievement. Only one group went unmentioned, the men who built these edifices-the bricklayers, ironworkers, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters, operating engineers, lathers, in short, the building tradesmen, those who brave freezing weather, driving rains, torrid sunshine and who sometimes gamble-and lose-life and limb to erect these grandiose edifices...

The S.A.O. label in France covers all sorts of right-wing crackpots, from Poujadist tradesmen to old men who were purged as Nazi collaborators at the liberation, to hard-breathing young militants of the neo-fascist Jeune Nation group. The working class is vehemently anti...
