...dead for two hours, but the priest took her word that he was alive. Then, "sorrowfully, reverently, and in fear and trembling," she set about burning his manuscript of The Scented Garden, an encyclopaedic sex manual whose translation from the Arabic had occupied Burton's last years (a partial version survived). Also into the flames went his private journal of 40 years, which he had kept under lock and key. This act left her free to clean up Ruffian Dick for the visitors and write a biography of "the most pure, the most refined and modest man that ever...
...after six months spent among the polar wastes and the blubber." To Hemingway, he had "the eyes of an unsuccessful rapist." The object of these calumnies was Wyndham Lewis (1884-1957), British critic, novelist, painter, polemicist, gadfly and editor of the short-lived and incendiary artistic magazine, Blast. This partial autobiography, written in 1937 and now reissued, proves that Lewis could give as good as he got. His book bristles on almost every page with his endless resources for insult. Ezra Pound, after a first impression, was "a cowboy songster"; T. S. Eliot was "a Prufrock who would 'dare...
...same virus that causes simple cold sores on the lip-herpesvirus-can also attack the surface of the eye; if unchecked, it can do damage that will scar the cornea, resulting in partial or complete blindness. The best treatment has hitherto proved successful in only 60% of cases, and the disease ranks as the commonest infection causing corneal scarring. Faced with cases that seemed beyond help, Dr. Bellows decided to try a cryoprobe chilled to a temperature...
Buried somewhere in Africa is a valid idea. Far-sighted ranchers are indeed beginning to breed wildlife as a partial answer to the world's dwindling food supply. Tors, a director of the World Wildlife Fund, obviously hoped to make a film that would entertain as well as in struct. This one does neither. Africa-Texas Style! has not enough of the real Africa, less of Texas, and no style at all. It patronizes the natives, shows the beasts in badly edited shots that unconvincingly mix footage of wild lions and tame humans. Tors has even included the ancient...
...result is almost pure Utopia. Nauruans enjoy free schools, medical and dental care, electricity and water, pay minimal rents and no import duties or taxes. Under an agreement announced last week by Australia to the U.N. Trusteeship Council, Nauruans will be given partial control of the mining industry July 1; after they finish paying for it in three years, they will get complete control. Under the complex new arrangements, most of the profits from the phosphate diggings will be held in trust and reinvested. Conservative estimates are that 30 years from now, when the phosphate deposits have finally...
