...that he was just the other man who has the big scene in the third act. So Tiny and Judith stayed married-Tiny threw out his arm and had to give up baseball for politics-Judith produced a novel that the rest of the intelligentsia thought was better than Jurgen, and a baby who was to be a home-run-king when he grew-and George wrote The Sun Field. The Significance. An interesting and amusing book, readable, vivid and unashamedly flavored with the author's own personality-though with a tendency to lapse into a rather mechanical cleverness...

The statute in New York, the result of the efforts of the late Anthony Comstock has received a liberal interpretation. Ordinarily...

It forgets that the ban placed on Rabelais has probably doubled the readers of "Gargantua," while "Jurgen," since the allurement of censorship was removed, has fallen in value from twenty-five dollars to a mere two-fifty. A half-page ad like this will be commonplace: "Read 'Love and Law." The Clean Books League calls it 'the greatest outrage against decency and morality in the last decade...
