Still no winds blew. The cold was not intense. Like some legendary city perishing before the coming of a new Ice Age, Amarillo sank quietly, irresistibly deeper & deeper beneath its sheath of ice, until it was cut off from the outside world. Now and then a lonely radio amateur got through with some word. The nerves of civilization quietly parted. Wide clean streets became tangles of wires. Forty-year-old trees, planted and cared for as trees are cared for only in the plain country, groaned and creaked all through the night, booming as they split open...
...government organizations consist almost exclusively of young people who would otherwise be entirely on the rocks; the private camps have sought to promote "trans-class associations," through which college youth and working-class youth can come to know each other and to have a more real friendship, a deeper awareness of mutual needs and interests.

The central finger bored up the precipitous Aoos River valley, reaching its metal claw deeper into Greece than Yanina is. To get this far the Italians must have cracked at least part of the Metaxas Line-concrete trenches, artillery emplacements, rock-hewn machine-gun nests built last year and this under British supervision. The mechanized Italian "Centaur Division" took part in the Aoos drive. At week's end, by which time the Italians were...
