For one thing, he is inconsistent; he speaks at one point of the "dreaming of Lord Jim"--when someone else might say "composing" and then goes on to detail the elaborate pains Conrad took over each phrase to insure total control of the material and of the reader.

Many a reader of Paris' left-wing daily Combat (circ. 58,000) complains that Staff Cartoonist Jean Pinatel's banana-nosed version of Premier Charles de Gaulle is a clear case of proboscis profaned. Last week Pinatel snapped back at his critics. Beside an amiable, big-nosed De Gaulle, Pinatel drew an evil-eyed, small-nosed De Gaulle, then offered his defense...
