Those who cling to the notion that Mother Advocate leads an incurably rakish and irresponsible existence, should be pleasantly surprised by the September issue, which, among its other virtues, has four features bearing directly on the war. The fears of the editors that their magazine is "a luxury with which the College might well dispense" seem ungrounded in face of the excellence of this issue, and of the fact that now, of all times, colleges should fight to keep a grip on the values of the creative life...
...Warrior's Husband, in which Katharine Hepburn made her first Broadway success a decade ago, By Jupiter makes smirking and off-color copy-which soon palls and sometimes offends-of Playwright Thompson's inverted world of ancient Amazons where the women are bold and rakish warriors and their menfolk coy and high-voiced homebodies. It winds up with a real War-Between-the-Sexes in which the invading Greeks make proper women of the Amazons by stealing the magic girdle that is the source of their strength...

Lincoln, long the $2,500-and-up crown jewel of Ford, is superseded this year by Lincoln-Zephyr, Lincoln Continental and Lincoln Custom. The foreign-looking, rakish Continental (introduced last year), has extra-large, square-cornered trunk and upright rear tire which violate streamliners' ideals but make a distinctive car. Prices ($1,477 to $2,864) include pushbutton door latches, automatic windows and V12 120-h.p. engines...
