...what they said recently in tributes published in the United Kingdom and elsewhere: Lord Brabazon of Tara: "I look forward to Don Iddon. He loves America, but won't have us bullied. Parliament should vote him a million pounds as a gesture for what he has done towards Anglo-American relations." Lord Boothby: "I know of no more vivid pictures of the kaleidoscopic American scene than those painted by Don Iddon." Sir Alan Herbert: "I like . . .

Cruel April's bard and the elder statesman of Anglo-American letters is 70 this week, and to the surprise of practically everybody, including himself, Thomas Stearns Eliot seems in love with love and life. The poet who was old at 23, when he wrote Prufrock, is getting young in his old age.
