...affected his thinking, a comprehension of the understandable portion of the Nietzschean philosophy, and lastly an orientation of Nietzsche's thought in the intellectual milieu of today. In a light style, humorous and ironic and aphoristic but not trifling, the book clearly explains Nietzsche's doctrines of the Superman, the Will to Power, and the Trans-valuation of all Values. Avoiding the jargon of the professional philosopher, historian Brinton has written a volume too current to be definitive, too intriguing to be limited only to scholarly perusal...
...Hawk Man's constantly rescued women. A boy who had been ignored all his life by an unstable mother and an alcoholic father believed that he was in constant danger, that he would die in five years. He found relief by identifying himself with the invulnerable Superman. For normal children: "Desire for blood and thunder is not depraved, and satisfying it by reading the comic books is a relatively innocuous and socially acceptable form of its release. It would seem to offer the same type of mental catharsis to its readers that Aristotle claimed was an attribute...

Hardest fact of all to see was the certainty that the automobile industry was going to make aircraft engines and parts, that Walter Reuther's plan had at least served to speed that certainty...
Milquetoast by day and Superman at night, Tyrone Power outdoes Doug Fairbanks' earlier characterization of Diego Vega (alias Zorro), the Spanish Robin Hood of sixteenth century California. He rescues peasants, puts villains to the sword, and woos fair ladies with swashbuckling bravado. But porcine Engene Pallete steals acting honors as a he-man parish priest who crosses himself with one hand while wielding a wicked cudgel with a other. Basil Rathbone, who dictates to the local Franco, meets the just desserts of sneering down a long nose; and Linda Darnell drops in just long enough for two kisses...
