...Italian naval parity came very much to the fore and almost broke off negotiations. To those who still take seriously the "war to end war" idealism which died with Woodrow Wilson a war between the former allies seems an impossibility like the invasion of Belgium in 1914. Such people need to be reminded that Italy fore up the scrap of paper binding her to the Central Powers and joined the Entente in 1915 solely because she could obtain bigger territorial promises than by remaining faithful to her own allies...

There are action scenes that make previous war films seem tame, and the impressions made by some of its more dramatic moments are nothing less than overwhelming.

The point may be illustrated by reference to the mooted question of linguistics in the curriculum of the secondary school. By nature and profession I am disposed to maintain the educative values in this branch of study although I recognize that there is a certain type mind which is not so constituted as to profit largely by these values...
