...seldom find reason to question TIME'S accuracy, but I would like to mention that I was highly incensed by the Cinema editor's wanton attack upon my friend Donald Duck's personality (The Three Caballeros, Feb. 19). The editor's erroneous reference to Donald as a "combination of loud little boy and loud little duck" is evidence that he does not realize how faithfully Donald portrays the inescapable fact that life at best is usually a series of frustrations for the average guy.

Field's immense fortune (estimated at $168 million) is dismissed quickly as "the chance of inheritance." But he explains why his New Dealing journalistic twins-Manhattan's adless, experimental PM, and Chicago's unexperimental, ad-crammed Sun-turned out so unalike...
...Mention of third Companiers Ballentine and Ainley is important. These former Bruins are a little put out since we mentioned the Sheller-English excursion and failed to mention them. Church-goers Murray, Neil, and Neilson were happy to see the Easter season come. They hit church every morn--just about in time to miss calisthenics. Red Sarb has been speaking in Phi Beta Kappa lately...
