...drawings are of even more interest. There are two which form a series, the first being called "Twenty Pounds Too Much." This shows an enormously fat, repulsive woman in a luxurious boudoir being massaged by a main. The second, "Twenty Pounds Too Little," pictures a woman, who, from lack of food, has become almost a skeleton, lying on a bare mattress in an underground squalid room, while sitting about her are her husband and little son. On a table by the bed are two empty food bowls...
...when dancing became his dominant interest. With Edward Warburg, Kirstein then founded the School of American Ballet (TIME, Dec. 17 et seq.). Although he took no credit, he collaborated with Romola Nijinsky on the tragic biography of her husband. No such swift-moving dramatic tale but a rich, fat history of the dance was this week published by Lincoln Kirstein. It proved him no idle dabbler in the subject but an enthusiastic scholar, equipped with information worthy of one twice his years.* If the pattern of Dance is sometimes involved and cluttered, it is because Author Kirstein was unwilling...
Whether they applaud or snort at his political outpourings, most U. S. citizens were grateful to Mark Sullivan last week for a tremendous twelve-year job of historical research and reminiscence which he had just brought to completion. In the six fat volumes and 3,740 pages of Our Times, of which Volume VI ("The Twenties") was published last week,* Author Sullivan has presented a superb newsreel of the U.

He was described as a kind-eyed, elderly country doctor. His statement was "anonymous." But whatever the facts behind the Mail's fat story, it could hardly have aroused more controversy had it been printed as a signed and sworn affidavit in the solemn Times. Medical bigwigs on two continents last week spoke their minds as to the rightness or wrongness of murder for mercy. Pungent, voluble Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor...
...Peter Quennell-Viking ($3.50). THE ROMANTIC REBELS-Frances Winwar-Little, Brown ($3.50). In July 1811, Byron returned to England from the Near East. He was 23, bored, cynical, a voluptuary who declared he had "drained life to the very dregs." Heavily in debt, he dreaded his reunion with his fat, tactless mother who had taunted him about his lameness; he was oppressed by thoughts of living in Newstead, the chill, half-ruined manor that was haunted with memories of the crimes of his wild ancestors. He carried with him the manuscript of Childe Harold but expected nothing from that poem...
