...London last week, Associate Justice Hugo La Fayette Black of the U. S. Supreme Court spent some of the last days of his European holiday shopping for tweeds, browsing about bookstores for a copy of Crete's Aristotle, dining at Simpson's and going to the theatre. To reporters who hounded him for a statement, he calmly announced that he would have none to make "at least until I return to the United States." Meanwhile, in the U. S. the story published last week by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette that Hugo Black had once been and still...

Until this week Mabel Dodge Sterne Luhan had successfully concealed from most readers the fact that the three volumes of her Intimate Memories (Background, European Experiences, Movers and Shakers), most scandalous of contemporary autobiographies, were written at the urge of a moral purpose as lofty as any that ever moved a penitent at a revival meeting. Now in Edge of Taos Desert Mabel Dodge reveals how, in 1917, at Taos, N.
