...British still fear that the U.S., although committed to the "unconditional surrender" of Germany, Italy and Japan, may withdraw again into isolation when victory is won. The British still watch U.S. policy operating in North Africa with rising alarm. The British still wonder whether military expediency means that when the U.S. has its say about the swirling postwar hatreds of Europe it may result in blithe recognition of any collaborationist who suddenly swathes himself in professed patriotism.

They would probably make a ravishingly scrumptious salad. Besides, I never did feature salmon and peas--in any form...
...programs of the Boston Symphony have not been as well received as this. One can well wonder why so fine an all-around conductor as Dr. Koussevitsky attempts so much modern music of such questionable quality as has filled the programs of Saturday night concerts this season. In spite of earnest efforts by Dr. Konssevitsky on be half of this generation of composers and what-nots, ticket holders at symphony Hall would give a warm welcome to more programs of the type given last night...
