Swing, Raymond | December 3, 1949 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The State of Europe," by Howard K. Smith. In the book Smith, whose broadcasts from Europe stand out among other examples of news analysis on the air, has written an earnest, provocative, and informative study of Europe from the end of the war till April 1949. Smith has reached certain basic conclusions. One is that Eastern and Western Europe have reversed their trends as a consequence of the war. Now Western Europe has fallen on a period of social contraction and Eastern Europe on one of social expansion. Smith believes the forces of this change to be profounder than current politics or the cold war.
