...cartooning, St. Louis Post-Dispatch Cartoonist Daniel R. Fitzpatrick, for a cartoon urging the U.S. to stay clear of involvement in Indo-China; for photography, Los Angeles Times Staff Photographer John L. Gaunt Jr., for a picture titled "Tragedy in the Surf." Pulitzer awards in other fields: fiction, William Faulkner's A Fable; drama, Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; history, Paul Horgan's Great River, The Rio Grande in North American History; biography, New York Times Washington Correspondent William S.

...worry about figuring out the plot of this one; everybody has his own version, and it doesn't really matter. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall embellish the incomprehensible Raymond Chandler book with their own brand of loving, fighting, killing, and grunting, and that should be enough for anyone. William Faulkner is responsible for the scenario...
...days right after the war when Faulkner was in Hollywood, Bogart was still more or less in the bloom of youth. So it seems quite plausible that from the first scene of the movie to the last he should be sharing his bottle with a series of caressable, long-haired chicks in evening dresses.

This is critical shorthand for the interrelated battles of highbrow v. lowbrow, refined sensibility v. raw energy, the tradition-directed writer v. the self-made writer. The palefaces, e.g., Hawthorne, Melville, James, ruled the 19th century; the redskins, e.g., Dreiser, Anderson, Wolfe, Hemingway, Faulkner, rule the 20th. As the first great chief of the redskins, Whitman would take ironic relish in the latest paleface compliment paid him, a definitive biography by New York University English Professor Gay Wilson Allen-the biggest and probably the best of some 50-odd lives of Whitman in print...
