This may not have been the archaeological coup of the age, but in some mysterious fashion, it suddenly seized the imagination of a group of European sculptors after World War II. All at once, Bond Street and Rue de Seine overflowed with tasteful mock fossils by Marino Marini, Germaine Richier and César. The style spread to America. The parallels were too many and too pat to miss: Pompeianism suited many a Fifties liberal, with his passive sense of impending catastrophe and his culturally induced impotence in the face of Joe McCarthy and Curtis LeMay.

...local School Superintendent, Ralph Ryder, described Tom Marino as "an outstanding teacher," and I suspect he is right. It would be hard to come up with three books more suitable than these for engaging and stretching the minds of today's high-school teenagers. What a far cry this is from the bland pap and drivel-such as the verse of Edgar Guest-that I had to study (and memorize!) when attending high school in Maine some years ago. I am sorry I didn't have as sage an English teacher as Mr. Marino, and Telstar High should regret that...
