Peter Pan (by James M. Barrie; music by Mark Charlap and Jule Styne; lyrics by Carolyn Leigh and Betty Comden and Adolph Green) was bound to become a musical in time-and doubtless in time for Mary Martin to play Peter. She looks as boyish as can be expected of any grownup of the opposite sex. She is hard to beat at singing, she can dance, she can duel with Captain Hook; and when she flies through the air, she races and soars and dips like some Peter Pan-American...
...novels as it does with A Fable in the last chapter. Here, after outlining the complex plot of the book and commenting on its obvious aspects, Coughlin rather despairingly admits his incapacity to treat it fully or even profitably.

Under the U.S. occupation, he was a man of tough but resilient rubber: since sovereignty, he has been a man of iron. Critics call him malicious, contemptuous, autocratic. Even his admirers sometimes agree-adding, however, that he can be witty, urbane and charming. Recently, a top U.S. diplomat was asked: "Whom do you regard as the five most influential men in Japan?"
