...question of about the same importance now confronts the world of letters: Who wrote the novel that contains this gooey hooey? Jean Harlow wrote it, with the help of an M-G-M journeyman. Completed before Harlow's death, the manuscript has been hidden away for the past 32 years. Published last week in the midst of a harrowing Harlow revival, Today Is Tonight (Grove Press; $5) reads like the first crude script of a Harlow movie-happy but sappy, and crammed with such insights as: "Funny that a man should want you tanned all over."

Adams came back to his original diary for a brief time late in 1758, and the manuscript for that period includes drafts of a half dozen letters to various friends. Adams had just set up his law practice in Braintree (now Quincy). His first case involved a dispute between tow of his neighbors over some horses breaking through a fence and trampling crops.

Episodes of "The Circle of Seven" will appear irregularly in issues of the Crimson...
...most part, signatures have little value by themselves. What collectors most want is a letter or other manuscript having a direct bearing on the individual's history-making specialty. Thus a Hemingway letter criticizing Faulkner-with the inclusion of a four-letter word-sold last year for $1,550. On the other hand, some communications from Astronaut John Glenn to a car dealer, which brought $425 in 1962, would have been a much better investment had they been concerned with outer space...
