Pele was the most awesome deity of the people of King Kamehameha. When her anger stirred, Kamehameha's subjects quaked. She scooped up blood-red lava from the great holes of Mauna Loa, Kilauea, Hualalai, and poured it steaming across the island of Hawaii. To her Hawaiians sacrificed many a pig, many a steer, precious possessions. In caverns formed by the hardened lava, the corpses of ancient kings and the loftier chieftains were interred, with weapons, canoes, feather cloaks, as richly red and yellow as volcanic fires...
...Goerlitz and of what she sees in Spain on the eve of Civil War, in Vienna after Anschluss, in Paris as an exile, it is actually a series of very moderately intelligent travel and political notes, held together by stock characters, decorated by eroticisms, seasoned with high-school cynicism, anger, iconoclastic irony. Net effect: like a drugstore translation of the Decameron by Weber & Fields...
...Finnish war evidently made Robert Sherwood a very angry man, and fortunately, a thoughtful one, too. "There Shall Be No Night" is the impressive result of his anger and his thought, plus a little slicking up in the best Broadway fashion. But even if the famous Lunt-Fontanne color is the ingredient that makes the show a hit, the play is still a remarkable job of dramatizing that explosive feeling most people get when they read about Finland...

On the other, the Russians laughed, drank beer, slapped each other's backs, praised their Red Army "defenders." But among the friends and foes of each side there was a bitter search for reasons, a hunt for scapegoats, a vindictive beating...
...Storting, Carl J. Hambro, hurried to Stockholm to discuss the pact. But facts were cruel and disruptive: Finland now lies in Russia's sphere, Sweden is geographically Germany's pawn, Norway's bare face is Britain's to slap. A mutual defense pact might therefore anger all three of the major powers. But since combined German-Russian wrath is much the greatest Scandinavian fear, the alliance would probably have to favor those two nations. Germans, taking this as a matter of course, tolerated talk of the pact...
