...that suggests wisdom gaily bestowed on lesser mortals. Though it crinkles with warmth, it is exactly one shade too pleased with itself. Emma could be one of nature's noblewomen, if only she would stop trying to stage-manage other people's lives. Graceful and witty, she is a goddess whose comic flaw is that she wants to play...
...They said I wouldn't be able to run and walk with the other kids," that baby, all grown up, now says. So she wore corrective leg braces, wore them to bed, wore them to school.

DIED. GREER GARSON, 92; Oscar-winning actress; in Dallas. Once described by Time as "a goddess sculptured in butterscotch," Garson specialized in playing noble, tender, poised women--"walking cathedrals," she called them--like Mrs. Chips in Goodbye, Mr. Chips and the title role in Mrs. Miniver, for which she won her Oscar. Born in Ireland, she graduated with honors from the University of London and became an actress against the wishes of her family. She was discovered in a play by MGM boss Louis B.
