...Nearly Faultless. Invasion goes on to do for Operation Anvil-Dragoon in the South of France what it does for Neptune-Overlord. The fighting for the southern beaches was a combat lark compared to the close call at Omaha. Naval support was close to perfection, and Morison, who saw service on no fewer than eleven vessels, thinks the South of France invasion was the "nearly faultless" large-scale operation of the entire war. One thing the U.S. fighting sailor will readily acknowledge, whatever his theater: no other fighting arm in World War II has found a historian with the flair...
...uncertainty about the boy's innocence. He fights his verbal and psychological battles with great power and agility: his naturalness of speech and gesture are mixed with a certain resigned sadness in his eyes, reminiscent of his performances in The Petrified Forest, which make his performance faultless. He deposes the small-minded, big-mouthed garageman, leads the brawny, embittered father into an emotional trap, and shatters the broker's cocksureness with consummate skill.

He had a strange attraction for women, who forever gave him encouraging glances or even sent inviting notes, but he was an unbending prude. One night he dragged the embarrassed Kubizek off to inspect Vienna's red-light district, and later lectured for hours on the evils of prostitution. Not much better than prostitution, in his opinion, was the cosmopolitanism of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Even then...
...been unobtrusively celebrating its 35th anniversary, but then Ed Sullivan decided to give broadcasting a TV salute on his Toast of the Town. However, NBC, still pursuing the quarrel it claims CBS started, refused to let its brightest stars attend. Dependable Jack Benny ran off one of his faultless comic monologues; George Burns added some needed spice; and H. V. Kaltenborn did a funny job of imitating Harry S. Truman imitating H. V. Kaltenborn after the 1948 election...
