...other words, Mr. Auden's verse is becoming more intense by concentration upon political symbolism, but its intensity does not penetrate the consciousness of the mass of readers because his syntax is still involved, his imagery still "metaphysical" in the XVIIth century sense. Nevertheless, there is vast improvement in communication over previous volumes. One can understand these poems. The poetry of Auden is no longer the Chinese puzzle it was when it first began and when an aristocratic damsel in his "literary senate" gave her applause in those incomparable words, too funny to be other than apocryphal: "I feel...
...letters were actually written by Mrs. Macfadden to Governor Hoffman's secretary in which, as one who had "suffered," she expressed ''suspicions" about Mr. Oursler and the Lindbergh case. Her attorney added that though Mrs. Macfadden had urged the Governor to keep these letters confidential, he nevertheless turned them over to his "good friend, Fulton Oursler," who had also obtained the supposedly palpable fake. So crowded is the New York County's Supreme Court calendar that a final, legal answer to this Macfadden muddle may not be handed down for two years or more...
...obligation to do so. Catholic theologians have decided that gaming is licit provided 1) the gamer owns and is at liberty to use what he wagers; 2) he acts of his free will; 3) there is no fraud; 4) there is equality between the parties to the game.

...educators perpetually talk poor mouth. Nevertheless, one-seventh of all public moneys goes to public education, and for educational purposes the Carnegie Corporation alone disgorges $6,000,000 a year, the Rockefeller General Education Board another $9,400,000. In addition, educative projects are far more often benefited in the wills of rich men than any other type of philanthropy. Biggest educational windfall since 1924 when Tobaccoman James Buchanan ("Buck") Duke established his Duke Endowment (present value approximately $53,000,000), dropped last week in Manhattan when the will of Banker Charles Hayden (TIME, Jan. 18) set aside the bulk...
...Rembrandt" is not a great picture. Laughton, overimpressed with his own impressiveness, talks in a whisper that makes flesh creep, while the whole theme of the artist's life seems too simple for him and yet too deep, and it evades the hand of the actor as a consequence. Nevertheless, with fine support from Gertrude Lawrence and Elsa Lanchester, the picture does give an idea of the tragedy of Remrandt's life and an insight into the contemporary artistic scene. If nothing else, it might at least stimulate a trip to Fogg to find out about...
