...world to embellish its covers? Is there not enough intolerance and racial hatred in this world of ours without TIME playing it up? It might just as well be news for TIME to tell in its pages and picture on its covers the sayings and doings of Sexual and moral perverts. I am ashamed of you and of a policy such as this shows yours to be. . . . SAM H. SIEGEL Haines City...
...doctor watching him like a mother hen. But it is a risky business, just as unsupervised dieting is risky. Obesity is not a simple condition always due to gluttony or laziness. Endocrine glands may be out of order. A poor thyroid may not keep metabolism spurred. Poor sexual apparatus causes a peculiar pudginess and a warped pituitary gland an odd flabbiness.

The "character conflicts" are arranged in accordance with the meretricious morality of Will Hayes, and the acting is too often a mere exposition of secondary sexual characters. When genuine works of art are remodeled to conform to the movie-goers taste, the author's subtleties and fine touches are deleted in a surpassingly stupid manner. This was only too painfully obvious to those who saw the screen version of "An American Tragedy" or who watched...
