...affair with the Japanese architect, it turns out, is to a large part, an attempt to re-live her earlier affair, though this point, and its importance in her mental constitution is not realized by the architect himself. Throughout the film there is this sort of vagueness, a lack of complete understanding, as though the shock of the war had left a different imprint upon everyone it touched.

...like such mammals as the dog and the monkey, which have brains built on the same plan as humans, even though they are much dumber. The octopus is not a mammal, or even a vertebrate. It is a mollusk, a sort of sophisticated clam. Its brain evolved independently-and the octopus in many ways is an independent thinker. Last week University of Cambridge Zoologist Martin J.

Critic Pritchett has warned him of this danger-of the "risk that his characters will become so familiar and real to him that he will cease to make them important...
...drawer in Greenwich Village by another publisher, who brought it out in 1941. Many reviewers were harsh on Author James Agee. Less than half of the book's 2,500 copies were sold, and the rest were slowly remaindered. But gradually Famous Men came to life in a sort of readers' underground. It is now reissued in a fine and welcome new edition...
