...anthropology that it has not succumbed to the itch for ancestors by giving recognition to the many dubious and spurious finds whose claims have too often received a facile acceptance abroad. No one can deny that this salutary state of affairs is due almost entirely to the righteous scientific iconoclasm of one formidable veteran, Dr. Hrdlicka. The unhappy but deserved fate of previous fossil pretenders to geological antiquity in America, mostly at the hands of one executioner, has so intimidated the younger physical anthropologists of this country that their attitude toward alleged fossil Americans is typically that of the poet...

Then he worked for Theatre Arts Monthly, then for the Post. His criticisms are noteworthy for their intelligence as well as iconoclasm. Critic Brown is hard to please. A onetime student at famed Professor George Pierce Baker's 47 Workshop, Critic Brown has never written a play himself but has published critical works (Upstage, Modern Theatre in Revolt). This summer he will again teach at the University of Montana...
