...obliged to pass eventually to save their own faces. Invited to debate, Congressmen can get their grievances against NRA out of their systems without taking a slap at the President. The widespread Congressional urge to "investigate" this prime piece of New Deal experimentation from a dozen different angles will doubtless spend itself harmlessly in the protracted House and Senate hearings. Then two or three months from now the White House will take weary committees in hand and subtly devise just the kind of NRA bill the President really wants...
...sure," wrote Editor Hartman, "there is here and there a little lip-service to the Almighty and upon occasion the President worships in a historic Washington church.

As Raskolnikoff, the impoverished student who murders a woman pawnbroker with the mad idea that money stolen from her will right a number of wrongs, Morgan Farley is about as wretched a figure as "Ma" Lester, the itinerant dustbin of Tobacco Road. Actor Farley rolls his eyes in terror, clenches...
