...place and time . . . that seem now as dead as any other journalism." And she believes that poems written according to formal rules are "but an imitation of poetry." What, then, is left? A compact, pocket-sized jewel case of highly personal and rare poetic experiences that have less outward shine than inner glow. Poet Raine's father was a spare-time nonconformist preacher in suburban London, but there is no doubt that a Buddhist would understand better than a Christian the implications of The Sphere...
...Selye sees it, every influence that bears on man requires him to adapt himself to his circumstances, including both outward events and internal emotions.

At any rate, the orchestra is to be commended for playing this little-heard music, and it should continue the policy by including other works of moderate difficulty in its future programs...
...Status Quo. These outward evidences of well-being and well-meaning are deceiving. Respectability and temperance are the coats that hide the flaming red galluses and the flaming passions of Herman's father. Says a Georgia lawyer who has watched Gene and Herman Talmadge operate through the years: "The Talmadges have always maintained a fundamental disrespect...
