...second is Martin Buber (TIME, Jan. 23). The third is Abraham Joshua Heschel. 49, Polish-born, Berlin-educated friend of Theologian Buber and associate professor of Jewish ethics and mysticism at Manhattan's Jewish Theological Seminary. Twinkle-eyed Dr. Heschel, a small man located beneath a bush of grey hair, labors in a blue haze of cigar smoke, and writes prose that sings and soars in the warm, intuitive tradition of the great 18th century Hasidic leaders from whom he is descended. His just-published book. God in Search of Man (Farrar, Straus & Cudahy; $5), is. subtitled "A Philosophy...
This year's melodrama concerns the efforts of two villans to rest the ownership of the Walker Valley, Pine Bush & Pacific Railroad from a defenseless, aged widow. She, inevitably, has a beautiful daughter who, of course, figures in the dastards' ultimate goal. They do not succeed, however, thanks to the "Courage and Valor in all Things but One" (Drink) of one Truman Pendennis.

While waiting for the new hearing, Dahl went back to Canada and got a job with a Quebec bush airline, flying supplies to the Arctic radar sites. At Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island last week, the owner of a beat-up DC-3 propositioned him to ferry the plane with two passengers to the mainland. The aircraft had no operational radio equipment, but it was flyable-and bush pilots earn their extra dollars by taking risks. Dahl took the job and was only minutes away from his destination when the old bucket gave up the battle and went down...
Then Connie moved up right behind the batter. That close, he could not resist the temptation to tip bats and trip batters. A good catcher but not a great one, he was tricky and tough enough to move up through the bush leagues into the big time. In that era of fierce competition and low salaries (he got $200 a month in 1886), Connie jumped from the solidly entrenched National League to the short-lived Brotherhood, then to the Pittsburgh Nationals, where he played until 1893, when a broken ankle sent him on to an unparalleled career as manager...
