That Anouilh made free with history-anticipated the use of forks in England, changed earldoms to dukedoms, implicated Henry far more in Becket's murder than he really was, gave Becket, what no one else has done for generations, a Saxon lineage-would matter little had all this given Anouilh's imagination greater force and scope. But he has played up trivialities while scamping essentials: Becket's great career as Chancellor is passed over; his clashes with Henry, on becoming Archbishop of Canterbury, go unused. Anouilh, again, oversimplifies character-amusingly enough when treating of minor figures...
...month spent in the pine cabin of an Alabama sharecropper during the summer of 1936. The book begins with 64 starkly beautiful photographs by Walker Evans, probing into the timeless peasant homes and sun-squinting faces of the Deep South, then ravaged by the Depression. Despite centuries of Anglo-Saxon inbreeding, the faces seem Latin: these same lean, starveling families could have emerged as easily from the caves of the Mezzogiorno or the baked hills of Mexico...
...Hecht-Hill-Lancaster's Cry Tough, a rough and rumble film about Puerto Ricans in New York, includes a scene in a bedroom occupied by Actor John Saxon and Actress Linda Cristal.

Maxwell of Philadelphia, who called instead for "a court of free nations . . . where laws will be supported by Anglo-Saxon justice and not totalitarianism."*In rebuttal, the A.B.A.'s incoming president, Whitney North Seymour, 59, of New York, argued that the court's decisions during its 14-year history have shown it to be learned and impartial. The A.B.A.'s new President-elect John C. Satterfield of Mississippi...
When Brinkley drifted to tiny Milford, Kansas in 1917, his assets were a sheepskin from the Eclectic Medical University of Kansas City (a diploma mill), a membership in the Masons, and a Saxon Six automobile. Then a rustic came to Brinkley with the complaint that he was a "flat tire," sexually inert. Somehow, Brinkley hit on the idea of implanting a fragment of goat gonad in the old fellow's testicles. He did, and before long the patient had recuperated to the extent that he was able to sire a healthy son-a lad named, appropriately enough, Billy...
