...long life of B.B., now ninety-three, has brought him into intimate contact with some of western man's greatest artistic creations and into the acquaintance and friendship of his most distinguished of contemporaries. Many have made the pilgrimage to I Tatti; some to engage Berenson in conversation, his favored "verbal art," others in search of wise counsel, yet others ask, and even cajole, the "world's greatest art expert" for his nod concerning the authenticity of works of art. Berenson has always proved affable, crudite and incorruptible. There were those, like Isabella Stuart Gardiner of Boston, who built collections...
...five Catholic Interracial Centers called Friendship Houses that existed five years ago (in New York, Chicago, Washington, Portland, Ore. and Shreveport, La.), only two remain within the national organization-in Chicago and New York.

Charter, friendship toward other nations and readiness to help them achieve their real and legitimate aspirations...
...acclaimed Nathalie Sarraute (56) writes like a woman who has lost her novelist's wits. Her characters are anonymous, shadowlike creatures who seem to take turns living first in feverish madness, then in tiresome mediocrity. They know each other, but what binds them together is neither friendship nor love but a mixture of sickly attraction and grisly revulsion. Jean Paul Sartre, contributing an enthusiastic forward, explains: "If we take a look at what goes on inside people, we glimpse a moiling of flabby, many-tentacled evasions . . .
