...beneath a rocky overhang, called the Abri Pataud, on a farm in the village of Les Eyzies. This region of the Dordogne, regarded as the "prehistoric capital" of western Europe, has several hundred other Stone Age sites; at Lascaux, Font-de-Gaume and other localities are the famous prehistoric cave paintings. The Abri Pataud shelter has been known since the 1890's, but its wealth of Stone Age relics came to light only in 1953, when Prof. Movius made a test excavation. Full-scale excavations began...

"He is," says a friend, "the ever-loving, good-time-Charlie Scandinavian come out of the woods on Saturday night for fun, sociability, and a yearning to spread joy."

Lingering Seduction. Perhaps the most exasperating of Warren's novels was The Cave (Arthur Mizener in the New York Times, 1959: "Warren at his best . . . beautifully intricate"). The author continued to spoon out enough sex to keep matronly readers titillated. More offensive was the novel's fakery in character development. Warren staged a situation of violence (a youth trapped in a cave), exposed a dozen people to it, and then, without explanation, asked the reader to believe that each of them experienced a profound change of personality. This sort of dodge is a black box, in engineering jargon...

...They never seem to get down to that." As for another familiar accusation against advertising, Young & Rubicam's Copy Supervisor G. Pat Steel won a prize with an institutional ad that argued: "Advertising does sell people things they don't need. All people really need is a cave, a piece of meat and possibly a fire.

...American girls-one pink (Woodward), one beige (Carroll)-take a two-week holiday in Paris, where they meet two American boys-one pale (Newman), one brown (Poitier)-in an integrated cave where the boys play sliphorn and piano. At first Newman makes a pass at Carroll, but the kids are quickly segregated, and soon they are in love. For Newman, love is short but art is long; he sends Woodward home and stays in Paris to study music. For Poitier, love is a ticket back to the U.S.; he decides to marry Carroll and join her crusade for racial equality...
