Part journalism, part lyricism, part Marxian mysticism, the 20 poems composing The Book of the Dead are so many strong shakes given to its readers' complacencies. That Poet Rukeyser has shaken her own complacencies first is shown in her book's 20-odd other poems, notably The Drowning Young Man, probably the best poem on a suicide yet written in America. Taken all together, the poems are an exciting and, on the whole, trustworthy appeal to all the belligerents who [and only who, if you ask Poet Rukeyser] know the world. Only these, she implies...
...happiest event since the Armistice. By last week, only rare exceptions to this consensus had been filed. The New York News humphed editorially: "Nevertheless, we'd rather see seven reels of Ginger Rogers, Jeanette MacDonald or several others. . . ." And last week the New Masses, following its Marxian line, grumped that Disney had bowdlerized Grimm's "savage and moral" tale, had turned out a version "a little too genial," with "too much of the trees-in-the-breeze quality...
...school for workers in Fordham University's Woolworth Building quarters. To the press rushed Rev. Ignatius Wiley Cox, Fordham professor of ethics and loud foe of birth control and the press, to announce that Fordham was starting "the first attempt to interpret workers' problems by other than Marxian theories."

To be worth his epitaph in Russia, however, a scientist must also hew to the Marxian line. Such a one was Professor Arcady Klimentievich Timiriazev, sometime lecturer at Oxford and Cambridge, and professor of plant physiology at the Moscow State University. The explosion of the Russian Revolution, when he was 75, brought down his grey hairs not in sorrow but in grandeur to the grave, gave Soviet cinema...
...Lucien Koch's brother Raymond. Redhaired, 29, and freckled, "Chucky" Moskowitz raised money for the College, saw it through its legal and extra-legal baitings, got it electrical and water systems, a printing plant and the dairy in which the cows are now fed on the un-Marxian principle of "to each according to what she produces." Miss Moskowitz, during the last of her twelve years at Commonwealth, helped steer its policies away from doctrinaire paths, towards the more practical purpose of training people for trade union organizing. Last month "Chucky" Moskowitz left Commonwealth, to live and work...
