Like its 22 sister papers of the lively, crusading Scripps-Howard chain, the New York World-Telegram (circulation: 395,000) has plugged for Franklin Roosevelt with friendly reporting, vigorous if unin spired editorials from the Washington bureau headed by George B. ("Deac") Parker. High point of Scripps-Howard editorializing came last fortnight in a glowing confession of faith which blurted: "Speaking generally, we are for Roosevelt for the same reason we think we would have been for Jefferson or Jackson or Lincoln had we lived in their day." Since providing President Roosevelt with a take-off for his famed "breathing...
...Leopold III of the Belgians is no Rexist, His Majesty's speech drawing Belgium out of any close alliance with France (TIME, Oct. 26) was music to the ears of M. Degrelle. Some, not many, of the King's immediate entourage are Rexists. His Majesty's sister is the Crown Princess of Italy and quite simply the Belgian Royal Family have an impression that Catholicism combined with Fascism makes for social stability and is perhaps the best antidote to Communism in a Europe in which Democracy has been slipping...
...drawbacks, however, need not seriously impede theatregoers looking for laughs. In Stage Door, as in any Kaufman-directed show, there is something funny going on most of the time, whether it be the saturnine reflections of a girl whose 15-year-old sister is said to be as innocent as Mata Hari, or an all too realistic Times Square bedroom scene in which Terry and her roommate shout good night to each other, blindfold themselves and attempt to go to sleep amid a roaring, flashing hell of metropolitan night life.

...Thomas Sutpen, an ambitious planter who settled near Jefferson, Miss, in 1833. Another tale deals with Quentin Compson, a Harvard freshman born and raised in Jefferson, who. in 1910, tried to figure out what had lain behind the Sutpen tragedy. A third deals with Rosa Coldfield, Sutpen's sister-in-law, and with Quentin's father, who told Quentin what they knew of the Sutpens. (Still a fourth story can be detected only by readers of The Sound and the Fury.) Thus readers must not only figure out what happened to the Sutpens, but also make allowances...
...Faulkner leaves it up to the reader to decide how much of the story is a reflection of the boy's inflamed imagination. For example, he does not make it clear if he means that Sutpen's oldest son actually contemplated an incestuous marriage with his half-sister, with her brother's consent, or if he means this powerful chapter to be interpreted only as a sign of Quentin's fevered dreaming. At the end of Quentin's attempt to peer into the past he is left trembling and frightened at what his imagination...
