Like the platypus who cannot decide whether he is flesh or fowl, a new secies has in recent years appeared in the zoo of critical writing. This is the work--basically an outgrowth of feature journalism--which hovers indeterminately between straight biography and straight criticism without fulfilling the requirements of either form.

The P.U.P.'s trade-union twin, the Gener al Workers Union, is an outgrowth of these courses, and George Price, the slender 35-year-old descendant of slaves who runs both outfits, is a St. John's graduate and a Catholic. Say the priests: "If we hadn't stepped in, the Reds would have." One result of their work is that...
