...Beggars) is the latest in a long line of Northerners to make such an attempt. A Slimmer in Italy is not only an excellent, heartfelt guide to most of the principal cities of the peninsula, it is also admirably designed to salve the blows of disillusionment that many a pilgrim to Italy this Holy Year is sure to suffer. For the North-South gap is cultural as well as religious, and the new visitor to Italy had better know before he goes that though Florence, for example, signifies "the City of Flowers" its "characteristic smell. . . is horse-dung, its characteristic...

The Roman Catholic Holy Year is swelling the pilgrim flock by the millions, but most of them will dispense with cowl and staff, danger and dust, and have a fairly comfortable time.

The greatest boom in history was over the crest, and U.S. business had begun the perilous, booby-trapped road back to what it hoped would be "normalcy." The journey was not unlike Christian's trek in Pilgrim's Progress. The wayfaring nation started in the Slough of Dispond, went through Vanity Fair, passed the lion-guarded House Beautiful, profited from the counselings of Prudence, stumbled on the Hill called Difficulty, defeated Apollyon, a fiend, saw through the hollow words of Mr. Worldly Wiseman, encountered the contradictory Works...
