...problems is Dr. Alice Virginia Keliher's Life & Growth. It begins with a discussion of inferiority complexes, goes on to dispel adolescents' fears of abnormality, and culminates with two chapters called "From Child to Man" and "Growing Pains," which treat the physiology of procreation with great candor. It was these that sent Philadelphia public school officials running for cover last week...
...Goya's best portraits, as they are classified by Beruete from 1801 to 1808. The age of the sitter, the costume and the manner of wearing the hair, the similarity in style to others of that time, all point toward those years.

About six years after his marriage he said as Duke of York, "My chief claim to fame seems to be that I am the father of Princess Elizabeth." To a pushing cinemagnate who managed to buttonhole the Duke and make an offer as fabulous as it was vulgar, the present King quickly replied with perfect truth, "You can tell your firm that I make my own films of my daughters." Newsreel companies never know when he will call up to borrow a $45,000 sound camera, truck and delighted...
