...management's negotiations with the Newspaper Guild. Most afternoons Mencken drops in at the Sun office, chats with cronies-President Paul Patterson, Editor-in-Chief John Owens, and a character called "The Bentztown Bard," who gets out a column of Biblical quotations, homely recipes and small-town chitchat...

Then, on doctor's advice, she returned to her family in the South' for rest. This week her second novel was published, under a title (this time) of her own choosing: Reflections in a Golden Eye. It is not the work of a normal 24-year-old girl...
