Congratulations and thanks for the excellent portrayal of Alfred Korzybski and account of general semantics [TIME, Feb. 14]. It is a remarkable feat to give a clear account of a complex system and of a great (though often difficult) man,all in a page...
...Europe for all books (other than collections), whether the book be a classic, a reprint, or a bestseller. The economics of the book business in America are pretty incomprehensible.

Continued Dutch action has become enormously dangerous by risking alienation of such a group. To crack the whip, Senator Brewster recommended last month that ECA aid be cut-off from any nation which disregards UN directives...
