...sartorially perfect diplomat, who (in everything but integrity) much resembles a Prussian Anthony Eden, has been seen largely in tantalizing glimpses, shooting precipitately through the trap doors of Europe's high-political underworld. Last week Hungarian Newshawk Tibor Koeves brought these glimpses together to produce the first full-length biography of Papen in English. His book helped explain the connection between the shadowy circles in which Papen moves and the shadowy circles under his eyes. It also explained in part the chemistry of that strange political amalgam: Junker aristocrats with Nazi riffraff...
Gregor is a full-length portrait of an average man in war. He is ably supported by hundreds of sharp details of war, family living, nature, and what female readers like to designate as typically "Russian" scenes: a madly loyal Cossack hanging on to a disabled cannon "like a dangerous pig tied to a log"; Red troops who, with a blaring phonograph on a sledge, gallop round & round the streets of a village; some gruesome close-ups (on both sides) of rape, looting, calm and frantic murder; a soldier trying on some fancy drawers he stole for his wife, catching...

Actually, it is two and a half Disney shorts with Comic Robert Benchley and a conducted tour through the Disney works thrown in for good measure. Unlike its renowned predecessors (Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia} it does not vastly expand the wonderful dreamworld which has flowed...
Through the eyes of Mr. Benchley, as he stumbles through the Disney plant, Disneyacs can peek briefly into the bag of goodies in store for them. There are glimpses of a forthcoming full-length cartoon about a baby circus elephant named Dumbo whose enormous ears mortify him to tears until he becomes an overnight sensation by learning to fly with them; of another full-lengther, Bambi, and its leading man, a little white-tailed fawn; of Donald Duck down on the farm...
