...Atalante is the name of a river barge that plies the internal waterways of France; it becomes a self-sufficient universe as Vigo focusses his attention on object after object, making every sequence almost a tactile experience. Most of the action occurs below deck in small, confined staterooms filled with the bric-a-brac that the four passengers have brought with them. Each room exudes its own atmosphere, the personal odor of its occupant...
...cope with a peevish present by chattering of a fancied past. The son Tom (Williams) suffocates in a shoe factory and goes to movies to daydream of escape. The daughter Laura (Williams' sister Rose) has a mind and a personality as fragile as the little glass animals that deck her room. But the mother dragoons Tom into bringing home a marriageable "gentleman caller" for Laura. When the caller turns out to be engaged, and unintentionally breaks the pet unicorn in Laura's menagerie, the girl's future can be read in the fractured glass. At play...

Glenn accepted his apotheosis as coolly as he had handled Friendship 7 on its flight through space. In the torrent of questions, he was articulate and at ease. There was honest pride in his great achievement...
...Otis Skinner and Critic John Mason Brown, Poet John Ciardi and Manhattan's Whitney Museum Director Floyd Goodrich as the ship steams through the warm Caribbean islands. The line will also run a "Bridge Cruise," captained by Expert Charles Goren and patronized by bridge fiends to whom a deck is something to be dealt, not strolled. Grace Lines' entry this year will be a "Navigator's Cruise" to the Caribbean for those "who want to refresh their navigation before they put their boats in the water in the spring." But mostly, cruises are still for people...
