Last Sunday, a fine sunny day in Belgium, 5,500,000 voters went apathetically to the polls, called out for the third time in a year to resolve the exasperating question of exiled King Leopold's return to the throne (TIME, July 18 et seq.).

Next week's cover story will take a fresh look at the market and the economy...

As in her past performances (lives of Byron, Shelley, Keats, Oscar Wilde, George Sand, et al.), Biographer Winwar makes the facts highly readable. The true love story of the Brownings is just as exciting as the semi-fictional versions of it, and far more warmly human...
