...pupils. Their ranks (an estimated 100,000) still include many a teacher of the sort that flourished a generation ago: dowdy females who had studied with a pupil of a pupil of Liszt, made their rounds with brief case under arm, eked out a living playing the organ in church. Women teachers still outnumber men, io-to-1, although men get thrice as many pupils. A good teacher today tends to be younger, better-trained than those of the previous generation. She gives about 20 lessons a week, makes about $40 from them, has not yet given up hope...
...Mexican newspaper, El Popular, organ of Vicente Lombardo Toledano's Mexican Federation of Labor, opened fire on Cortesi and Burton. Ever since the Nazi-Soviet pact last August, El Popular has carried on a relentless campaign of invective against democracy.

As editor he went to New Orleans for the bitter jurisdictional strike of 1903 that nearly ruined both breweries and workers in that city. His narrative of the strike is a small masterpiece of labor history...
Since then Editor Macdonald has blown a sharp if not widely audible pipe against the New Deal, The New Yorker, TIME ("major house organ for the American business class"), the post 1930 Soviet cinema. No less snappish is the Partisan Review theatre critic, Mary McCarthy (Mrs. Edmund Wilson), who breaks Broadway butterfly hits on an ironbound esthetic wheel. At the peak of Partisan Review sophistication stands Art Critic Morris, whom practically nothing pleases. "It is something less than an exaggeration," writes Critic Morris with his characteristic faint shudder, "to state that the painting and sculpture being 'encouraged...
