...nation needs more than anything else is a new era of forgiveness and reconciliation." It's an old idea, Whitmanesque and almost corny. Yet, Hughes firmly believes it, and from it at last he can slip comfortably into his gospel preacher role. He begins to speak of the Divine Creator and the gospel of education, anti-hunger, and equality. There, in the Sheraton Plaza, of all places, a religious movement is being built...
Melville's career was incredibly uneven. The creator of Moby Dick was also the author of White-Jacket, Typee, Omoo, and Pierre; or the Ambiguities, and the poet of Battle-Pieces was also the poet of Clarel, an amazingly inept pseudo-epic on Biblical themes. Warren's edition of Melville is a priceless edition to Melville scholarship, for the continuity it brings to the author's work, the way it integrates his fiction and verse in a coherent outline. At Warren's hands, the ambiguous Melville begins to make sense...
...more handsomely than the late Margery Allingham, who, along with Dame Agatha Christie and the late Dorothy Sayers, dominated a golden age of suspense that began in England after World War I. Her aristocratic sleuth, Mr. Albert Campion, survived four decades, 20 books and dozens of malefactors before his creator died in 1966. Even then, he did not retire immediately.

Mr. Campion's Quarry...
...many children, to reproduce the results of a bloody massacre. Isn't there something chilling-not to say inhuman-in having a child reenact the loss of a limb? It made for a great press of course. All the national weeklies ran off descriptions of how the mild-mannered creator of Lilies was out to make the most brutal film of the year. And all in the name of artistic integrity. No one bothered to question this senseless escalation of violence on the screen. Say Fred, did you see how Nichols got that guy's guts to spill...
...creator of such enduring and endearing baseball images as the Brooklyn Dodger Bum, the eye-patched Pittsburgh Pirate, the beer-bellied Milwaukee Brave and the slew-footed New York Giant has been without a regular outlet for his art since the World Journal Tribune expired in 1967. Now 68 and with more than 10,000 cartoons to his credit in a 44-year career, the breezy, booze-loving Mullin is disappearing by inches, like a bottle of the finest Scotch whisky...
