...cover story and your speculation as to "how real can movies be" [TiME, June 8], you neglect a mention of the "feelies," [Aldous] Huxley's prophetic description [in Brave New World) of what civilization will be satiating itself on in some future popcorn bazaar. The feelies could not only be seen, smelt and heard but they could be "felt" with the aid of knobs attached to the arms of the viewer's chair. Thus a passionate kiss will become a personal sensation and a painful blow will become a source of masochistic satisfaction...
Only at the end of his speech did Ike mention Bob Taft by name. With obvious sadness the President gave his audience the news of Taft's illness (see below), and announced that he had just sent the Senator a telegram, "saying that we well knew that we could not spare such patriotic and devoted service...
...into $6,500,000. Just before Wilson testified, the court heard from Du Pont President Crawford Greenewalt, son-in-law of aged Irénée du Pont.

Since he also let it be known that he had studied at St. Aidan's (Theological) College, he was asked to deliver a couple of sermons...
...book is slow and heavy-footed, often bogs down in long passages of abstract speculation about the problems his characters face. In his own fashion, however, Novelist Musil is often sardonically effective. The human soul, he writes, "is simply what curls up and hides when there is any mention of algebraic series." And "at night a man has only a nightshirt on, and what comes next under that is the character." With a kind of pachyderm playfulness, Novelist Musil encourages his characters to blow themselves up-the better to measure their hollowness...
