...than four columns when Poet Stephen Vincent Benét rates nearly seven? It would be unkind, perhaps, to grudge Simeon Strunsky and Jan Struther nearly a column and a half apiece but would it not have been better to allow more room for Ernest Hemingway (one), E. M.

The hero of Son of the Moon is a young Hindu aristocrat-his family traces its descent from the moon-who has made the first solo flight from India to England.
