Your wonderful pictures of a Caesarean section [TIME, Dec. 9 ] thrilled me greatly since I have had the same operation (with a local anesthetic). Everyone should look at these pictures with a deep reverence and respect for the skilled surgeons we now have who yearly save the lives of many mothers and babies, who otherwise would never have a chance...
...Down East" is a gently relaxing New England pastoral. All the scenes are skilfully convincing, so that the audience, even allows such preposterous behavior as Henry, Fonda's turning Rochelle Hudson out into the storm. When the local gossip strides off to the skating party, one is amused; when Andy Devine comes in out of the stormy night, one is convulsed. The entire picture breathes a homely old-fashioned warmth.

S. would once more be a happy prosperous land if the misled people would only harken...
...bewhiskered William Brown Bell, who is currently dunning his friends for Republican campaign funds (TIME, Dec. 2). Bonged Mr. Bell, after dissecting the Townsend Plan: "Are we all crazy?" President S. Wells Utley of Detroit Steel Casting Co. urged his fellow industrialists to turn the heat on local Republican committeemen to keep the G.O.P. "from becoming more liberal; meaning more radical." Conspicuous at the banquet board as he passed the olives was the handsome, flowing stock of Mohawk Carpet Mills Chairman George W. McNeir (see cut). Other business Congressmen were du Pont's President Lammot du Pont; Atwater Kent...
