Beyond Reproach
HAVE long been acquainted with Superman from a distance-the distance, all too short, that separates our kitchen from our living-room, but it was not till I read *the news that Superman was under suspicion that I decided to become a close listener. And I was most agreeably surprised. You can’t even find fault with the accent-it’s impeccably ABC. And morally it’s a hundred per cent. Superman has all Sir Galahad had, and possibly a better chest expansion. The heroine is a thoroughly nice, comradely, plucky girl-so unfair that I can’t remember her name when I have no difficulty in remembering the names of the more shameless hussies of fiction. And even politically. this — particular Superman series is irreproachably cor-
rect: the enemy is the Guardians, # nasty nest of neo-Fascists.
