...massive work of the Confederate warriors (Lee's Lieutenants, TIME, Oct. 26), closed with the aftermath of the Seven Days' battles.

...little Frederick, Md. (pop. 15,802) last week came an object lesson in war financing.

The debt could have been repaid by a $25 emergency tax on each of the 8,000 residents in 1864.

Once he relayed the President's views on the Monroe Doctrine in terms so confusing that neither State Department papers, editorials or his own cryptic statements later could clear them...
...JUBAL TROOP-Paul I. Wellman-Carrick & Evans ($2.75). A first novel, this has two distinctions: 1) Author Wellman, newspaperman and ex-cowboy, is a Western historian, author of an excellent study of Indian war, Death in the Desert; 2) his Jubal Troop makes a fortune instead of leading a romantic life among scenes of gun play, escape, cattle rustling, prospecting, big-time gambling. Author Wellman's gratuitous moral: Jubal Troop's money-grabbing...
