...little over 22,000 feet . . . and just when I am beginning to wonder how much less oxygen I can get along without, there is the sun! From the strangely low angle it seems to pop up at us. The chromium plated struts gleam and twinkle, and the vivid orange wings take on new light...
...brilliant is Katharine Hepburn as Jane Eyre that the critic, even, must admit he forgets the part of the flery heroine is being played by an actress and not by Jane Eyre.

Opposed to this grim description of "the most tragic human cantonment in Europe," are his reminiscences of a great syndicalist convention he attended in Zaragoza before...
Both walls are symbolic of the constructive and destructive forces of society. The north wall represents the struggle between creative science and matrial greed. The east wall depicts the struggle between creative culture and the brutal impulses of man. To make the allegory more vivid, the artist has used many modern war accessories...
