Twenty years ago two gifted free-verse _ poets who became prominent at about the same time were widely hailed as among the most original spirits in the emerging group of Midwestern writers. Two more dissimilar talents have seldom been found in the same school. Edgar Lee Masters was a gruff, hardbitten, Kansas-born lawyer whose poems were bitter epitaphs on the wasted lives of a small town. Carl Sandburg, cheerful, intuitive, sentimental, had worked as a porter in a barber shop, sceneshifter in a theatre, truck-handler in a brickyard, a dishwasher, harvest hand, Social-Democratic Party organizer, newspaperman...

Neither defendant's process nor its product infringes on the patents of plaintiffs...
Long before the danger of war focused the world's attention on Ethiopia, that wild country had served as a magnet for such dissimilar imaginations as those of Evelyn Waugh (Black Mischief) and the late L. M. Nesbitt (HellHole of Creation). While both volumes made the country and its people out in strange, terrifying terms, they emerge as even more formidable in the account of Marcel Griaule, whose description of a French scientific expedition that traveled from the Nile to Addis Ababa has the quality of a nightmare sustained beyond human endurance...
