...Life of St. Hilarion, written some 1,550 years ago and recently quoted by a letter writer to the British Nature, is an accurate description of vitamin A deficiency and its cure.

Editor Stern has maintained a fastidious regard for the simplicity of the original, replacing "Thou mayst" with "you may" and never caviling at the robust bloodshed that originally accented most of the tales. Josef Scharl's imaginatively crude pen & ink decorations likewise serve to emphasize the primitive, rustic quality which the Grimms faithfully preserved...
This bow to an imperfect world came only after intense and elevated debate between those who preferred a faulty beginning to none at all, and those who felt that the Protestant churches of the U.S. would fail in their duty if they compromised with the crude expediency of power politics.

The crude but levelheaded Mr. Perkins might well be a roughed-up composite of all the frankly capitalistic U.S. businessmen who have visited and charmed the Rusians: ex-U.S. Ambassador Joe Davies, the late Wendell Willkie, ex-WPBoss Donald Nelson, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Eric Johnston. But the nasty U.S. correspondent-a vicious roasting of all American journalists who dare to suspect or find one flaw in the Soviet system-was harder to place...
