Sirs: You quote Earl Baldwin of Bewdley as saying in two long paragraphs and 175 words (TIME, Aug. 28-Education) what Maxwell Anderson made Washington say better in the play about Valley Forge in 15 words: "This liberty will look easy by and by-when nobody dies to get it."

For days they traveled through the tropical vegetation where Lady Cromer's maid had once asked: "How long, my Lady, must we tarry in this shrubbery?" At Khartoum, Churchill's valet died. Writes Marsh: "I was grateful to him [Churchill] for his confidence in my right feeling when he told me that though it might seem an odd thing to say, he knew I should understand...
