Despite the slow seepage of horror from earlier reports, I was unprepared for your account [TIME, April 30] of the German concentration camps.

He has supplemented his natural gift with a complex mathematical scheme, based on the comparative vibrations of sounds and light rays.* A ray of red, for example, has about 477,000,000,000 vibrations per second. Its tonal equivalent, to Belmont, is the key of C. Similarly, the key of D is orange; E, yellow; F, yellow-green, etc. Thus, a dirge is painted...
