...first question that Franklin Roosevelt is reported to have asked Harry Hopkins after his return from England was: "Who writes Churchill's speeches for him?" It is well known that Stylist Churchill writes his own speeches. But the chiefs keep a jealous literary eye on one another, and the President may have feared that Churchill had a bigger gun in his pocket than Archibald MacLeish. For Washington newshawks credit the Librarian of Congress with writing much of the Third Inaugural and more than one cozy Fire side Chat. This week they scanned the two latest MacLeish prose books...

A responsible stylist, Fearing frequently succeeds in welding big talk and tough into the kind of indivisible unit that makes literary news. His Dirge for the "executive type" is deservedly an anthological stock-piece...
...Winship, leader of the Crimson snow troops last year, profited by a short session of skiing in Alaska last summer and is in tip-top condition now. Also a superb stylist, "Glacial Tom" can enter four events, but will probably stick to the downhill and slalom, although he may venture into the jump if needed. John Abbot was the fastest downhill man at Stowe, and has probably earned himself a place on the Varsity if he does as well in the slalom...
