...MONTE B. BROWN (Former Chaplain, U.S. Army, Korea-class of '52) New York City Sir: I am offering, in suitably heroic couplets, a new indoctrination course for basic training in the U.S. Army: The chow is lousy and the beds are hard? You have to pull K.P. and extra guard? The corporal's rude, the sergeant impolite? The captain will not let you out at night? They will not let you have a private phone? It's clear, my boy, you don't know Mr. Cohn. You have a gripe? Don't tell the chaplain...
...Siege at Red River (Panoramic; 20th Century-Fox) is a solid wad of batting from Fox's production cushion. Last year, when the studio converted to CinemaScope, it shrewdly maintained a small-screen corporation to fall back on, just in case CinemaScope should prove to be a lumpy bed. It was headed by Leonard Goldstein (TIME. April 28. 1952), who made millions for Universal-International with low-budget pictures like Ma and Pa Kettle and Francis, the talking mule.

...Walt Whitman said: "I have more hopes of Hartmann, more faith in him than in any of the boys." Few connoisseurs today would show such faith in Sadakichi's poems, e.g., the couplets that Biographer Fowler uses as chapter headings. Samples: "I made a bed of sun and sand / Beside some vanished stream"; "In this torn sea of arabesques / Looms there no isle of peace?" Nonetheless, this kind of thing, plus two art books and a blasphemous play about Christ that was banned in Boston, was enough to make Sadakichi the king of Greenwich Village at the turn...
...Glee Club and Choral Society are so abundant that one almost takes them for granted. But last night their precision, vitality and complete immersion in the music set even higher standards. Perhaps their superlative performance was inspired by G. Wallace Woodworth, Davison's successor, who left a hospital bed to conduct them. Or perhaps it was their own tribute to the man who, retiring this year, is responsible directly or indirectly for their every success...
