Even in billion-calloused, production-booming January 1942, these figures at first seemed fantastic. Only 18 months ago, U.S. output was around 500 planes monthly; the first medium tank rolled off Chrysler's line only eight months ago; monthly output of anti-aircraft guns is still in low hundreds.

...story of the employer and the boy and the job is not new, and there is a clumsy ambiguity in motivation, but, on the whole, the tale is handled with a skillful restraint and subtlety so that the reader feels the author to be completely in control of his medium. Not original enough to be important, the story satisfies, for the author knows personally the material with which he deals...
