...format of Radditudes has been improved over the last issue, especially in the case of a very fine-looking title page. There are two cartoons and four incidental drawings. The drawings are reasonably good, if uninspired, but the cartoons don't seem to belong. A couple of letters to the editors are perhaps the most amusing part of the magazine. One, from a Cliffedweller named Annabelle Freud, complains subtly about the murderous crew of characters in the stories of the last issue. Happily, the editors have taken her advice...
Like all section courses, English A stands or falls on the instructor. The format has not changed in decades. Attached to the twice-weekly section meetings is reading, often interesting in itself, but determined more by the predilection of the section man than by a logical scheme. Marking, also, is highly individualistic. The tendency is not to mark papers too high, but to undervalue them. If the instructor is really able, the most useful part of English A lies in the conferences, devoted to individual problems, which again depends with the instructor...
Durante, playing his familiar self, cannot be restrained even by the necessities of traditional format, but only once does he get a chance to break loose into one of his remarkable solo performances with song and piano. The rest of the music is rather routine, though probably Hit Parade-ish, and the usual sprinkling of classical warhorses, such as the Bell Song from "Lakme" is tossed in, too. But no doubt the bobbysoxers will be wild about this one. Not only is their quondam idol, Frankie Sinatra, displayed prominently, but a newer dreamboy, a fellow named Peter Lawford with...
Over the years, TIME'S 1,240 cover portraits (including 19 Men of the Year) and TIME'S cover format have been the subject of considerable collecting, reproduction and imitation. The art department of the University of Illinois mounts and catalogs all TIME covers as part of its permanent collection. A loyal son of Texas has a standing order for the artists' originals of all Texans appearing on the cover. They are hung in a Texas museum. Originally, this art buyer (an ex-cattleman) wanted to know what longevity guarantee we would give him with each painting...
...cover bringing holiday greetings, announcing new offspring, from school and college annuals, etc., make a real problem for us. We are highly gratified by such requests, but, the trademark laws of the U.S. being what they are, we have to refuse permission for reproductions of TIME'S format and take action against unauthorized uses of it. During last fall's election campaign, for example, an enterprising candidate for New York State assemblyman from The Bronx headlined his campaign literature with a brochure of himself on TIME'S cover, which led some voters to think that...
