...recent: The Unspeakable Skipton, a witty, waspish caricature of the famed adventurer, "Baron Corvo." The Snows share a ten-room London flat and a 6½-year-old son. Snow likes to be in the worldly swim and throws parties conspicuously free of fellow novelists. Sir Charles is a shade stuffy about most 20th century authors; of another practicing panoramist, Lawrence Durrell, he says: "A bit like eating a box of soft chocolates." Too many writers, he feels, are munching chocolates instead of facing reality. At heart they fear science, and this keeps aggravating the crisis of the Two Cultures...
...course. Monthly trading on the New York Stock Exchange slacked until volume hit an eight-month low. Despite sporadic rallies, each day the market closed lower than the day before. At week's end the Dow-Jones industrial average was off 14.72 points, closed at 601.70, only a shade above the year's low point...
...legend, well cultivated by Northern liberals, that Johnson's Southern blood is laced with Bourbon conservatism. The legend is untrue and unfair, as a scrutiny of his voting record reveals.

...moody man ("I always look sad in photographs"), Cloar took as his subject his own kind of people, who lived in such places as Calico Rock, Ash Flat and Evening Shade. "The family album," he has said, "was my research." Working in bright tempera because "it responds to me better," he painted everything from the Baptist Sunday school he had attended, to a memory called "The Lightning That Struck Rufo Barcliff it killed him." By last week, as his latest one-man show was being put together at Manhattan's Alan Gallery, his hand was surer than ever...
