...were a citizen of New York State, I know who I'd be for." Harriman beamed. Asked if he would say the same thing about Illinois, Stevenson's state, Truman smiled, replied: "There are three or four good men in the state of Illinois." Then, having dealt Harriman a pat on the back and Stevenson something sharper, Harry Truman left Albany. Ave Harriman, who had publicly pledged his support to Stevenson last summer, turned the knife: in a TV interview at week's end, while disclaiming any intent to run himself, he said that he felt...
...seemed to be making the changeover gradually: its Merry-Go-Round was about a grimly possessive girl who loses two men before she has enough sense to change her tactics to entrap a third. Studio One briefly dismayed its viewers with Reginald Rose's Three Empty Rooms which dealt with a pair of miserably shy newlyweds, but wound up strongly affirming the solidarity of the human race.

You cannot even dream of how you would be dealt with in Russia...

Aurora Dawn was written in an 18th century style as quaint as a minuet, but it dealt with a 20th century subject, "the contrast between the rat-race values of the radio-advertising world and the stable values of an Old Testament hillbilly prophet who gets mixed up with it." Wouk thinks of it as "a compendium of first-novel errors," but the Book-of-the-Month Club grabbed it. From that day to this, Wouk has pursued "the hard, borderline trade" of writing with monastic dedication...
