Britain's Reginald Reynolds, a "confirmed serendipitist" (discoverer of unexpected treasures) and the author of a learned, witty study of sewage-disposal problems (Cleanliness and Godliness, TIME, May 6, 1946), is no nostalgic yearner for the boskier days of old. In Beards he stands aloof (and beardless), a lollipop in one cheek and his tongue in the other, and lets the pro-and anti-beard factions fight...
...Date with Judy, starring Jane Powell and Wallace Beery, is an innocent little lollipop of a cinemusical. Rachel, which opened late in the month and netted top grosses for the last two weeks, is a pretty good historical drama whose star, Robert Mitchum, was recently arrested in a marijuana scandal.

The U.S. people, most of whom would vote as Republicans or Democrats in November, were not sure, watching Wallace's political sideshow, just what to make of him. Was he a liberal-or a lollipop? Was he Sir Galahad or, as Westbrook Pegler has savagely dubbed him, an old Bubblehead? Was he a true prophet or a sinister Pied Piper...
...wholly abstract mask used in the circumcision ceremony of the secret Poro Society of the Ivory Coast Dan Tribe, slams at the eye like a fist. The Ashanti fertility fetish, carried on the backs of pregnant women to help make their children beautiful, has the simplicity of a lollipop but the elegance of a Donatello; the yellow & black Ibibio carving, used in secret female dances, sits its crescent moon with awesome assurance; and the Mpongwe stilt-dance "Mask of the Dead" is ennobled, not coarsened, by its cruel tattoos...
