Roosevelt the Soldier of Freedom reviewed by Burns
A critical survey of Burns two volume biography The Lion and the Fox covers 1940 to Roosevelt death in 1945. It praises condensation and moral scope while arguing the book treats World War II as seen through Roosevelts actions and the perceptions of Eleanor Hyde Park and others. The reviewer notes Burns portrays Roosevelt as war leader torn by principle and realpolitik, balancing allies Churchill Stalin and the New Deal, with focus on wartime strategy, Yalta, and domestic politics.

Australian publishers defend resale price maintenance for books
The Australian Book Publishers Association argues that books differ and require price maintenance to sustain a viable retail trade. They warn that removing price controls would push good bookshops out of business, raising prices and weakening access, while Britain’s block exemption case and Buckley J's reasoning are cited as precedent for special treatment of books in anti trust doctrine.

Books and the resale price maintenance debate in Australia
The text discusses the uncertainty of predicting a book’s commercial success, the impact of removing resale price maintenance on Australian booksellers, and Buckley J’s view that stockholding booksellers face higher prices and fewer titles if maintenance ends. It cites Australian publishers like Angus and Robertson and Dymocks and contrasts book sellers by class. It also notes potential shifts to price cutting and library or school suppliers.
