When U.S. citizens did think about the rest of the world-and thousands did, every day-it was generally in terms of the big conflict between the U.S. and Red Russia. Yet there were many moves in the world, not only along the main highway between Washington and Moscow, but on the other, more remote, and no less important roads...
...shall not hesitate to bring the situation before the Congress. . . . The United States contributed $341,000,000,000* toward winning World War II.

They have long been the most famous stage couple in the world-and year in, year out, probably the best box office. On the road, even when it had dwindled into a weed-choked path, they have never slipped. A week before O Mistress Mine opened on Broadway, it had a prodigious advance sale...
