...London the newsweekly Cavalcade, which has fattened its circulation by specializing in Windsor news ever since the early days of the abdication crisis (TIME, Dec. 14, 1936, et ante), announced results of a "nationwide" straw vote in which Cavalcade got subjects of King George VI to ballot on: 1) "Which foreign nation do you like best?" and 2) "Should the Duke and Duchess of Windsor be invited to return to England to live?" Result: 37% preferred the U. S., 28% France and 15% Germany; 61% were for inviting the Windsors back to England. This survey was made last July (Edward...

Chief sallies have consisted of nostalgic biographies, fiction and poetry celebrating the feudal charm of the Old South, collective manifestoes (I Take My Stand) advocating return to an agrarian economy, magazines (The Southern Review et al.) and poetry societies whose interests are about equally divided between the high brow and the horny hand. To this rebel activity Caroline Gordon has contributed a five-generation family chronicle (Penhally), a novel glorifying the unindustrialized purity of a sportsman (Aleck Maury: Sportsman), a recent Civil War novel (None Shall...
