...carry quite the impact of originality which its champion claims for it. Anyone's appreciation of classic or even modern literature is conditioned by his sympathy for its social origins; but Mr. Harris forgets, or underestimates, the fact that sympathy is a product of the imagination more than of factual knowledge. Apart from this, "Case for Tragedy" is marred by a false emphasis on values extraneous to art as art, and by positive mistakes in literary judgement which are the disastrous. The temptation for a modern writer to call Date a tragic poet is considerable, but the total effect...

Nearest historical approach to the legend is the case of the late "Al" Wilson, Hollywood stunt pilot, who jumped from a spinning Sikorsky bomber, leaving in the ship a man who was manipulating smokepots for a cinema shot. The passenger also wore a 'chute but made no apparent move to jump. The Professional Pilots' Association investigated, concluded that Pilot Wilson had jumped without warning, drummed him out of its ranks. Last September...
