...Swedish liner Stockholm when she speared and sank the 29,000-ton Italian liner Andrea Doria. At stake, as he told his story, were not only legal claims totaling some $40 million but the still unanswered questions of blame in the great North Atlantic shipping tragedy (TIME, Aug...

Irish Dramatist St. John Ervine suggests both why the critics are acting that way and why they are wrong. One trouble is that Shaw flouted the romantic conception of what a great artist should...
