...plenty of muscle to continue Chairman McGillicuddy's drive to expand overseas operations while remaining a dominant domestic force in traditional banking services as well as leasing, mortgage banking, factoring and consumer finance. Whether Kahn's contribution amounts to public relations puffery or not, many businessmen will doubtless be charmed by an "other America" that smiles through economic adversity. But apparently it took a novelist like Kahn to ferret out the facts...
...stated by President Roosevelt in his last speech before a joint session of Congress on March 1 1945. Roosevelt was making a plea of support for the United Nations Conference which was soon to convene in San Francisco: "No plan is perfect. Whatever is adopted at San Francisco will doubtless have to be amended time and again over the years, just as our own Constitution has been. No one can say exactly how long any plan will last. Peace can endure only so long as humanity really insists upon it, and is willing to work for it, and sacrifice...
...Probably both were genuine. Was the peace of which he spoke only the stillness of Soviet hegemony, or an acceptance of coexistence? Again, almost surely both. The Bolshevik believed in the prevalence of material and military factors; the aged leader was exhausted by the exactions of a pitiless system.

Slowed, but not bowed, by age and grief, he is a farmer whose rhythms have been set by the wheel of the sun, the turn of the earth, a man who patiently accepts death as part of life's cycle and pays no heed whatever...
...shtetl with a shrug. But, save for the narrator (Joe Silver), he is supported by performers who believe that Yiddishkeit is suggested by saying already every two minutes. Nor is he aided by Director Milton Moss's attempts to create crowd scenes by bunching his cast in clumps. Doubtless the profit motive made the producers wheel a pushcart show to the Broadway stage. They might have recalled another Yiddish proverb: The longest road is the one that leads to the pocket. -By Stefan Kanfer
