...LIVES, HEROIC DEEDS, AND SAYINGS OF GARGANTUA AND His SON PANTA-GRUEL-trans, from the French by Sir Thomas Urquhart and Peter Le Motteux. In one volume.-Simon & Schuster ($3.50).

Master of men and millions, the face of John Davison Rockefeller is anxious, unbelievably seamed above his sparse and fragile body. Mistress of precious intellection and writer of what seems gibberish to most readers, Gertrude Stein is shown with a face rugged, calm, confident above a stolid mass which scarcely defines...
