...turret, a 250-h.p. radial engine, gasoline tankage for about 70 miles of combat operation at 10-35 m.p.h. It was painted a dirty brown. It was not beautiful in any sense. When Sergeant Pullen tried to put his feeling for his tank into words, he would say with passion that he would feel like beating in the face of anybody who tried to take his tank. He alone knew precisely the right touch for the starter button on that particular engine, the feel of those particular gears, the tension of the tracks and bogie wheels (which keep the tank...
...when the shrill horn of plenty was heard in the rest of the land, did little to cheer the literary consciousness of the South. In those years Carson Mc-Cullers grew up in Columbus, Ga. with a hopeless passion for good music, fine writing, kindly human relationships. Her family was not well off, her opportunities were limited, her observations bitter. At 20 she married a fellow Southerner and started work on her first novel, a long, cloudy story of a deaf-mute.

...with an overdose of sweetness, while the lyrical Third fell short in Brahmsian power. The Fourth, then, is Brahm's finest work in the symphonic form.

I myself am increasingly impressed with the first movement, which, in the words of an eminent critic, starts out as though it had been going on for a long time and we were just becoming aware of it, and then builds...
...shadows of shadowy doings. But in Houston, men say: "Well, we'd rather have Houston the way it is today, with all of Jesse's sharp goings-on, than no Jesse and no Houston." Jesse Jones operates now in a higher, brighter sphere. Power is his passion, but now he is equally passionate over the benevolent use of that power. If he drives a hard bargain, as he did last week over Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railway Co., it's in the interest of the Government-which is supposedly all the people. He is tough, shrewd, tricky...
...Passion (by Edward Chodorov & H. S. Kraft, produced by Richard Aldrich & Richard Myers). Advance notices hinted that this play was about Sinclair Lewis and Dorothy Thompson. The hint can be disregarded. The drama begins as an acid study of the relations between a jaded, unsavory novelist (George Coulouris) and his wife, part journalist, part demon, played by sinister Gale Sondergaard, whose performances here and in the cinema (The Letter) mark her as the female viper of the dramatic year...
