...Problems of the world-Khrushchev's threat to lob rockets to the underside of the U.S., the gathering in Geneva, and the gunfire in Guatemala and Viet Nam-all find their proper places in this week's news budget. But some of the out-of-the-way stories in the issue are not to be missed. Just as France's famed gourmet Guide Michelin (see THE WORLD) confers one, two or three stars on France's best restaurants and decrees which are "worth a detour,'' our own chefs have a few specialties...
Once these appetizers have been sampled, either on a detour or in their proper sequence, the rest of the news may be approached in a confident frame of mind.

The trouble may be that philosophical novelists are, in their weakest moments, tract-writing zealots. Stacton's message in this book is that the proper study of doomed men is how to die with dignity. But in his eagerness to give his hero a suitable death, he has neglected to bring him credibly to life...
