...Odor of Courage. What "they," i.e., two big black bulls, do to Pacote and what he does with them is the climax but not the core of Barnaby Conrad's Matador, a novel about bullfighting fine enough to share the shelf with Tom Lea's The Brave Bulls (TIME, April 25, 1949).

...born into a world of death, violence, wounds, adventure, heroism and cowardice, good and evil. It is ludicrous so to educate a generation born to the OGPU and the atomic bomb. Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage...
