Images of Truth, by Glenway Wescott. The author, one of the U.S.'s best nonwriting novelists (he wrote The Pilgrim Hawk), ends a long silence with a fine collection of critical portraits of fellow authors-Katherine Anne Porter, Isak Dinesen, Thomas Mann and others...

Like the pre-Ship of Fools Katherine Anne Porter, Novelist Glenway Wescott is a somewhat melancholy yet tantalizing literary figure. His novels-including The Grandmothers (1927) and The Pilgrim Hawk (1940)-earned him a special reputation as a prose craftsman and subtle prober of the wheels and springs of emotion that turn the clock of character. But he has produced little fiction (only five volumes since 1924) and, though he has started some projects, has published nothing for the past 17 years. Through all that time, a faithful coterie of Wescott admirers has continued to hope not only...

...defiant and pathetic. More than 70% of its 1,700,000 people scratch a living from the collectivized soil; most of Albania's farm villages and mountain towns have changed little in the last century. Garbage flows through an open gutter cut in the middle of narrow streets; hawk-nosed men sip Turkish coffee in dim cafés while their women shoulder heavy loads of wood and barrels of scarce water.

To the annals of place names like Kitty Hawk, Palomar and Canaveral it added Andover, the earth station in Maine; a place with the wonderful name of Goonhilly, in southwest England; and the euphonious Pleumeur-Bodou, in Brittany. In the long record of man's scientific triumphs, it ranked in drama with Morse's telegraphic message ("What hath God wrought!") and Bell's first telephoned sentence ("Mr. Watson, come here-I want you!''). To many Americans, as they sat by their TV sets, it evoked memories...

...Belgian Cyclist Rik Van Looy, haughty, hawk-nosed world road-racing champion; the rich Tour de France, which Van Looy-although competing for the first time-was the overwhelming favorite to win. After forcing a record pace for the first half of the 22-day, 2,656-mile grind. Van Looy was knocked out of the Tour when a close-crowding photographer's motorcycle struck a rock and catapulted into his bicycle, spilling the 28-year-old Belgian into the path of 19 other racers. Said a rival racer: "Whoever wins now, his victory won't be complete...
