This new edition of the complete Margaret Hunt translation, revised and corrected by James Stern, should re-establish their reputation. Editor Stern has maintained a fastidious regard for the simplicity of the original, replacing "Thou mayst" with "you may" and never caviling at the robust bloodshed that originally accented most of the tales. Josef Scharl's imaginatively crude pen & ink decorations likewise serve to emphasize the primitive, rustic quality which the Grimms faithfully preserved...
Parachutes and Stockings. Primemover behind this rise that carried the eleven-store Gimbel chain ahead of arch-rival R. H. Macy & Co. as well as Federated Department Stores and May Department Stores, is greying Bernard Feustman Gimbel, 59, robust, genial patriarch of the Gimbel clan. He had a hunch that the war would boom retail sales. So he turned his buyers loose with instructions to order all they could of consumer goods which would be among the first casualties...
Winged Victory (20th Century-Fox), Moss Hart's crisply flamboyant salute to the Air Forces, comes to the screen substantially unchanged in cast, story and general feeling.

Justice Jackson read the oath of office and radiant, robust Ed Stettinius, hand on Bible, boomed out a baritone "So help me, God!" Then the new Secretary characteristically thrust out a friendly big hand to the Justice: "Thanks, Bob!" He turned about and kissed his wife (too quickly for the photographers; he had to do it again for them). Soon after, he held a spot press conference, where he paid Cordell Hull what must have been his 200th tribute. He told the correspondents, in effect, that from now on, boys, whatever you want is yours. This was welcome news; State...
Died. The Reverend Dr. Endicott Peabody, 87, founder (in 1884) and head master emeritus of Groton School; in Groton, Mass. A robust legend to generations of schoolboys, Dr. Peabody retired as headmaster in 1940, was recently the subject of a biography, Peabody of Groton (TIME, Oct. 30). Last week, he taught a usual morning class in sacred theology, lunched, undertook to drive the wife of a former master to the railroad station. On the way, he stopped his car by the road and died...
