Architect Hermann Field, member of the U.S.'s most disappearing family, arrived in London with his wife Kate for a reunion with his sons, Alan, 9, and Hugh, 6. He had not seen them since 1949, when he plunged behind the Iron Curtain to hunt for his missing brother, Noel Field, onetime U.S. State Department official. Soon Noel's wife Herra also vanished. Then another Field was reported missing: Erika, Noel's adopted daughter. Released last October after five years in a Polish prison, Hermann Field spent a month "convalescing" in Poland, then continued resting in Switzerland...
Ever since the autumn of 1879, when a girl named Kate Morris showed up in Cambridge, looking for a master's degree, Radcliffe College has had a graduate school. Since that starting fall the school has expanded to 350 women, and has become one of the world's finest graduate schools.

The trio is wasted, however, in a show which can afford no waste; their "Siberia" number is as flat and as cold as that overworked land itself. In two other instances, "The Red Blues" and "Too Bad," they are joined by the entire chorus for masterpieces of staging and action. Since the audience is at no time caught by the musical, this brilliant motion is another waste--more pointless...
...Shakespeare ("Live in thy shame, but die not shame with thee"), rescued Katherine and saw her safely married to the knight. But soon John, too, was panting after her. Eventually, she presented John with four bouncing bastards, who were legitimized by King and Pope in due course, after Kate's first husband and John's other wives conveniently died. In Katherine, Author Seton (Dragonwyck, My Theodosia) has expertly laced up a busty novel of historical fact and feminine fancy that is sure to find favor among the Plantagenets of Hollywood...
