In a column by Robert Quillen, a father counsels Louise to act independently and think for herself.

The piece also mocks excessive talk of war and comments on leaders and public attitudes.
A quotation contrasts the harm of lived lies with spoken falsehoods, attributing the cruelest deceit to the misconduct that becomes a person's life. It frames honesty as the core of character as remembered by W. G. Clarke.

Drew Pearson surveys a broad panel of wartime forecasters from 1943 to 1944 including Earl Wilson Halsey Arnold Hoover Churchill Eisenhower and McKellar.
