...also a second central element, and this is concerned not with the mastery of a particular field but with the problem of breadth across fields. Unfortunately, the term "breadth" is inadequate. It does not indicate specifically enough what the aims of General Education are. It also tends to convey the image of sweeping "survey" courses, the kind of course, indeed, against which the advocates of General Education at Harvard have so often arrayed themselves...
PAUL REYBEROLLE-Marlborough-Gerson, 41 East 57th. The U.S. gets its first good look at a French painter who serves up frogs, couples and countrysides.

Stylistic consistency is also apparently meant to account for the rather childish Anglo-Saxon in which Golding's characters think and converse...
...sufficiently, so he settled in the end for coal-black grease paint. He tightened the spring in his stride, explaining, "Othello should walk like a soft black panther." He practiced the curiously accented, oddly stressed speech that evoked the way some Jamaicans and Africans gush English, managing thereby to convey the way the Moor spoke Italian...
