...novels on the same subject. Subtitled "The Days of Ignorance," it is an exhaustive 500-page picture of upper-class Europe in the decades before the War, with particular emphasis on those forces within society that were even then laying the ground for conflict. The emotional life of Julian Bern, precociously intelligent son of an English consul in Italy, began with a love affair with Zena, a Russian princess, whose noble family, perverse, gifted, incredibly wealthy, gave evidence of the fatal decadence of Russian rulers.

...State police last week raided the headquarters of a Negro sharecroppers' union whose striking members had ganged non-union Negro sharecroppers. Police claimed to have found "a pile of Communistic literature." A mob of white farmers mistook Newshawk William Bennett of the Montgomery Advertiser, whose redheaded editor is Julian Hall's Uncle Grover, for a "Red agitator." The mob thoroughly manhandled Bennett before he could identify himself...
