...have reported that Dana Perfumes, Inc. has spent several millions in publicizing their ad of Tabu, the "forbidden" perfume, and the picture of seduction at the piano [TIME, Nov. 25]. But what is going to happen now that Airwick, the total deodorant, is spending thousands too? . . . Will the moral turpitude curve show a downward trend when Airwick kills the high-priced and seductive smells distilled from the scent glands of the musk deer and the civet cat?

Accused of writing their play from today...

Missed cues and German accents heavy to the point of double talk give the play a certain ineptitude that has alienated critics and audiences alike, but does not detract from the great moral issues portrayed. Despite the lack of technique on the part of the cast, "Temper the Wind" brings the significant problems of today to the American stage for the first time since the end of the war. The authors have something important to say, something that greatly concerns Americans and deserves their...
