Said Capitalist Davies on his return to Moscow: "The most striking impression I gathered from my trip was the universal use of the profit motive throughout Soviet industry as an incentive to workmen. I visited factories where the 'Stakhanovites' were receiving twice and thrice the wages of other workmen. In plants we visited the directors were all men of between 35 and 40.

...Prayer on the back of a stamp, Author Graves has written a whole close-knit modern comedy on the back of his. He has fun with his story, and so do readers, unless they are the kind who must have sugar on their salad. Idealists should think twice about reading The Antigua Stamp; realists will quite possibly read it twice. For readers who are accustomed to find their way quickly to the side of the angels, it may be a shock to discover that in this book there is no obviously angelic side...
