...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."

Britain's Sir Gladwyn Jebb listened with the urbane equanimity a Foreign Office man must pull on along with his drawers and socks while dressing each morning. 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...
