...street around the university. Students cradling Tommy guns sat on the roofs, dangling their legs. Members of the Front National Français poured in from the nearby slums to stand guard under their black Celtic crosses or to drill in the makeshift uniforms of the territorial army, a sort of Algerian home guard. Truckloads of armed peasants had rushed in from the rich plain of Mitidja. And there were the girls of all of them, serving as nurses or waitresses or human chains to pass stones to the barricades, but, nevertheless, wearing high heels, tight skirts and floppy sweaters...
...however inevitable its death, the News had its mourners-especially among the 130 editorial staffers faced with the necessity of finding new jobs. Last week a sense of unreality hung over the once-busy city room, which had been turned into a sort of employment agency to help ex-staffers get jobs. On one side of the newsroom a bulletin board listed some 200 job offers in Cleveland industry, but few newspaper openings. Out-of-town papers, e.g., the Minneapolis Star and Tribune, sent personnel representatives to interview ex-News reporters, many of whom discovered that they were considered...

But he has surveyed those spaces with great exactness. Reconciliation of a sort follows the adulterous affair in The Wayward Wife, but the terrain of indifference and ignorance that lies between the country wife and the chattering physics professor she has married is too vast to be bridged...
Louis Edmonds makes an impressive figure of the pivotal peculator Count La Ruse. His control and taste lapse only at rare moments, and he has considerable authority, elegance, and brio besides. As his mistress and nemesis, Robin Howard is asked to cope with a part that calls for the sort of compelling distinction that Siobhan McKenna and Colleen Dewhurst and very few others can command. On this level Miss Howard simply hasn't got it, but she is a competent actress with a splendid pair of shoulders. Lee Henry is similarly undefinitive but competent as Ultimate Evil. Arthur Malet cannot...
