...crowded out of their frontier freeholds, may still be said to have squatters' rights. But last week Author Grace Zaring Stone trespassed on Cooper's hunting-ground, and if she makes many more such successful expeditions, Cooper's title to the land will be considerably shaken. The Cold Journey may not prove as popular as The Last of the Mohicans (it will never be a juvenile), but that would not necessarily mean it was a less worthy book.

His idealized portrait of an imaginary dictator will not please U. S. readers so much as his Journey of the Flame (TIME, Nov. 6), but they will lend a friendlier ear than they would have a few years ago to Rico, Bandit and Dictator...
