...everybody read the Bulletin" but there is not much truth to it. The Bulletin may be unspectacular, but it is a good newspaper. Lately, it has strangely refused to act its age. It recently underwent a drastic face-lifting, peeled off the old-fashioned headline types in favor of clean, ultra-modern fonts. Traditionally Republican, it has nevertheless been staunchly pro-Lilienthal, and has given Harry Truman some kindly back-pats. Since it bought the liberal Record, (TIME, Feb. 10), it has had an embarrassing wealth of columns, now prints Tom Stokes as often as David Lawrence, makes room...
...sexually maladjusted collection of characters ever to appear in a girl's college magazine. In itself, this fact does not condemn "Radditudes." A gang of misanthropes, murderers, and masochists, handled properly, can make excellent reading. For the most part, however, the stories in "Radditudes" offer neither narrative, nor clean-out character studies, nor reasonably penetrable allegery, but substitute slightly pretentious, somewhat mystifying, and extremely bloody vignettes...

Ordeal of Anger. Janet Lewis' setting is Denmark in the middle 17th Century and her writing, as clean as a peeled twig, traces a clear outline of a dark Scandinavian story. The fearless Pastor of Vejlby, Soren Qvist, prayed God to relieve him of the passion of anger. But when the insolent Morten Bruus asked for his only daughter in marriage, Soren hurled him to the ground. The title of the novel refers not only to the actual trial of the Pastor for murder, with which he was eventually charged, but to the spiritual ordeal that preceded...
