...Iceberg. Brash young Review-men got E.M. Forster to explain why he stopped writing novels in 1924, James Thurber to discuss the difference between American and British humor, William Faulkner to talk about his technique, recorded equally penetrating chats with Francois Mauriac, Joyce Gary, Robert Penn Warren and other literary lights. Result: 21 interviews in the Review and a book (Writers at Work; Viking...
...face that he thought Bizet's operas better ("Bizet's music does not sweat," explained Nietzsche). But his dumpy little sister fell hard for the antiSemitic, Valhalla-first rantings that her brother Friedrich dismissed as Wagnerian idiosyncrasies. She took up with a Wagnerian camp follower named Bernhard Forster, who organized Germany's first anti-Jewish mass meetings and rounded up 267,000 signatures for his appeal to Bismarck to register all German Jews and bar them from key jobs. When Nietzsche found out that Forster's outfit was quoting some of his own diatribes against...
Molar gone, Ike moved along to the hospital's main building, and the same third-floor VIP suite where he recovered 21 months ago from ileitis. Next morning appeared three of the neurologists who were called in after his stroke-Georgetown's Dr. Francis M. Forster, Columbia's Dr. H. Houston Merritt, and Walter Reed's Lieut. Colonel Roy E.

Treatment and Recurrence. There was never any dramatic sign that this C.V.A. was taking place. The President could not tell just when he had his stroke. Neither could the four neurologists who examined him next day-Georgetown University's Francis M. Forster, the Army's Lieut. Colonel Roy E. Clausen, Columbia University's Houston H. Merritt and James F. Hammill-though they confirmed the findings of Ike's regular doctors. As for treatment, all they could advise was wait and see, combined with a stress-free routine. They prescribed plenty of rest...
Britain's aging (78) Author E. M. Forster spoke out to the London Magazine on the subject of aging: "I reserve the right to be frightened at the thought of my own death and to mourn the deaths of those whom I have loved or haven't even known. The present century has become too curt over bereavement just as the 19th century was too expansive over it." Who really knew how to mourn? "The Greeks. They wept, they recovered, they recalled." What is old age? "Both by its practitioners and by its observers, it is approached...
