...poems in the Advocate are generally superior to the prose contributions. Donald Hall's "Epithalamion" is a haunting treatment of an old theme--the marriage of opposites. "Saint-Germain-des-Pres," by Lyon Phelps, is entirely an evocation of atmosphere, and it succeeds admirably within this limited intention. Lee Austin's "Truro; 1854" and Will Morgan's "The Golden Legend" are both musical and cryptically romantic, "Cryptic" would be too mild, however, to describe Douglas Freelander's "Almyra."

Secretary General Trygve Lie, a ponderous, uncomfortable figure in blue, his hand plunged deep inside his coat, seemed a Falstaff, cast, under protest, as Napoleon. Yugoslavia's Ales Bebler, presiding, wore a sleepy, slit-eyed look of boredom. Nationalist China...
