Commencement Means Beginning
.
in: Coronet, p. 26, June '45. (459
words).
This is the beginning of something, and along with pride there's a
curious, unresolved fear. As a matter of fact, it's the first fear of just
this sort; because until now he was a moppet, a little squirt, a freckled
kid who banged loose and aimlessly, like one of those hard rubber balls
attached to a string; and no matter what he did, whether to go down
Main Street on his hands, or bait Mrs. Lammy's goat, or get himself
burned from head to foot with poison ivy, or fight three times a day, or
get the mumps, the strong string was always there, ready to rescue him,
ready to pull him home to safety and security...

Three Battles and a Man
.
illustrations by Arthur Szyk. in: Coronet, July
'45. (contains: The Hill that Bled, Ferry to Freedom, Valley of the Shadow,
[George Washington]).
It's not uncommon for a painter to dwell artistically on the ideals and
heroes of his homeland, but when a Pole in Paris sets to work on his
own to do a set of miniatures as a tribute to the memory of George
Washington and the early days of American history, you have perhaps
some idea of the powerful influence of the men and deeds of the
American Revolutionary War...

I told a story to some of the men stationed near Sharjah, in Saudi

girls who had volunteered for overseas service where they wanted to go
and why. One girl answered that she would like to be sent to Saudi
Arabia because she was certain it was the most romantic place on
earth...

A Day of War
.
in: American Scholar 15 no 1(65-68) Jan'46
(Winter'45-'46). (505 words). *
DECEMBER 21, 1778 was a day of war, one day out of the
several thousand days during which America fought for her
independence. Nothing of great import happened: no major battles
were fought, no great decisions rendered. For Mr. Draper and Mr.
Folsom, who published The Independent Ledger and the
American Advertiser, at the corner of Winter Street in Boston, it
was another routine day, and as such, it lost itself in the maw of
history.

Fighter for Truth
.
A tribute to the Very Reverend Hewlett
Johnson.... in: Soviet Russia Today, January 1946 p.7. (844 words). *
A tribute to the Very Reverend Hewlett Johnson, the Dean of
Canterbury and a friend of mankind.
"Man's dearest possession is life and it is given to
him to live but once. He must live so as to feel no
torturing regrets for years without purpose; so live
as not to be seared by the shame of a cowardly and
trivial past; so live that dying he can say 'all my life
and all my strength were given to the finest cause in
all the world - the fight for the liberation of
mankind.'" Lenin
THIS statement, written by Lenin, says better than any words of
mine could how I and how many other American writers feel
about Hewlett Johnson, the Dean of Canterbury...

Pfc. La Houd; Symbol of America
.
in: Coronet, p. 128-131, January
'46. (1,794 words). *
For a long time to come, Pfc. La Houd and civilization will
be inextricably linked in my mind; from here on the two are
one, and the misery of famine-stricken Indian villages, the
memory of men and women dying and starving, will be
softened somewhat by the picture of Pfc. La Houd, benign and
knowledgeable, in bathrobe and slippers, pacing before the mail
car. It came about this way:
I was in Delhi, India, back in those distant days when the end
of the war still seemed years away, and I was told that I would
have to take the train to Calcutta. I could not fly. This was not
as simple as it seems, nor is a forty hour ride on the East Indian
Railway a matter-of-fact journey...
