Sirs: . . . In TIME, Dec. 10, you carry a picture of Mr. Maxwell Anderson on the cover, with a very interesting story elsewhere in the issue. You state that Mr. Anderson left North Dakota, "because his efforts to make lignite coal burn wearied him.'' . . .

The old Knight of the Mournful Countenance, however, detects a slight, wanders off once more to joust with windmills, returns home to find his books ablaze and to die. Photographed by Nicolas Farkas, who directed The Battle (TIME, Dec. 3), Don Quixote is at its best when it is purely pictorial-the brilliant whites and gloomy greys of Spain; the noble nose, the gaunt cheek, the scraggly whiskers of the Don whose addled pate wears a barber's lather-bowl which he thinks is a helmet; the whirling...
