The Era -- Day By Day
I think I've lost the thread in "Harold Teen" along the way: why can't Shadow run either the soda-fountain shop or the youth center? Or get a job in a war factory? I get that his height keeps him out of service, but why can't he do anything?- Fading Fast

The Story of Temple Drake from 1933 with Mariam Hopkins, William Gargan, Jack La Rue and Florence Eldridge The Story of Temple Drake, based on the William Faulkner novel Sanctuary, was scandalous in its day.

"...redeemable classes bef'oeh I c'n stawrt." "Remedial," corrects Sally, carefully controlling her expression." :) As Skeez and Nina exchange nervous glances.
