...gates at John Brown's yard. He is just in time for a warm welcome by shop stewards, a quick briefing on the takeover, and a noon lunch with the workers. He pumps hands with worried men in flat checked caps and tells one apprentice: "This is a grim time, lad." After a spot of tea and a puff on his pipe, Wilson climbs onto a chair and says: "I am here on behalf of the Labor movement to assert your right to work." Harold is cheered as he leaves, but his trip has not guaranteed him a hoped...
...afternoon, however, the picture is grim. Early evening television news programs have hurt afternoon newspaper sales everywhere in the nation. Besides, compared with morning papers, afternoon editions are costlier to put out because they require faster distribution for a big street sale, more labor for heavier press runs, and frequent front-page replates to provide up-to-the-minute, eye-catching headlines.

But her description of what happened to Pound when the war ended is detailed and grim. He was arrested by two small-time crooks who had learned that there was a 500,000-lira reward for his capture. Handcuffed to an accused murderer, he was taken by Jeep to a military jail near Pisa. There, at the age of 60, he was kept like an animal in an outdoor...
Voids and Pressures. A crazy house in the desert-dominated by enormous biblical presences, voids and the threat of war-is perhaps the only place where discussion of Hitlerism and the Jews can be conducted any longer; the grim documentaries have become self-defeating by repetition, the outrage exhausted by its own weight. Appropriately, therefore, Adam Resurrected is centered on a flossy insane asylum near the Dead...
