...that the same pre-occupation with contrast invades even the non-fictional prose or this issue. The book reviews are filled with the problems of perversion and suffering, literary experiment and revolution, frustration and release. But the most comprehensive discontent is expressed in a lengthy article by Arthur Rosenbloom, "Hara-kiri in the Ivory Tower". Mr. Rosenbloom uses the Harvard Tercentenary Conference on Arts and Sciences as his springboard, and from it launches into a vehement stream of reflections on the plight of the modern academic intellectual.

United Press, and North American Newspaper Alliance Services on both sheets...

"The girl I select," said he, "must be possessed of the devil and charged with electricity. . . I want some one new. What I want is a really young and attractive girl but she must be stupid, cruel and relentless." Hollywood three days later it was revealed that the role had been assigned to Miriam Hopkins...
