...citizenry and U. S. literature, having been more translated* and being more lipworthy in name. George Follansbee Babbitt was recognized as a world synonym for Homo Americanus when, last week, Author Lewis was awarded the Nobel prize for literature, biggest & best literary honor on earth. Tall, spindly, brass-haired, pock-marked Sinclair Lewis was born Feb. 7, 1885, in Sauk Center, Minn. His father, a country physician, had migrated from Connecticut, so at the proper age young Sinclair went to Yale. But at the beginning of his fourth year, he deserted college to become janitor for a socialistic Utopia called...
...history of man is pock marked with revolutions. Wars are often the result of faulty diplomacy, but revolutions rise from a violation of principles. A handful of men set themselves as the defenders of the status quo; another handful, the men of convictions, oppose them; and there are always the followers of both camps, the people who make revolution a more inspiring, more honest thing than war. And there are always, too, soldiers of fortune who seek only excitement, who, regardless of issues, fight for either side, and who shift their loyalty with easy convenience. Human strife carries with...
...same characteristics mark his Eroica,* a novel based on the life of Ludwig van Beethoven and published currently. Despite his expert knowledge, Critic Chotzinoff permits himself even here no sidestepping into erudite analysis of Beethoven's music. His book is frankly fiction, tells vividly the story of the pock-marked man who never in his life found satisfaction save in music, who died shaking his fist at the unknown. Other Beethoven biographers have presumably clung more closely to reliable, documentary sources but honest laymen will like the Chotzinoff version. It attempts, at least, to solve the haloed Beethoven enigma...

...Moon stared coldly down at Long Island last week, Elinor Smith, slim and 17, flew past his pock-marked face. His expression did not change. She whirled her biplane - a Brunner-Winkle Bird - and flew past him again, again, again. She was willing to do that all night, for she was trying for a new woman's solo record. The old record, made by one Bobby Trout on New Year's Day in California, was 12 hr., n min. After several hours, Miss Smith began to sing - every song she could remember. That was not insouciance...
