Kinsey, the World's No. 1 Sexo-analyst, Blows the Gaff Today on All About Eve. Indiana's Dr. Alfred Kinsey was not alone in blowing the gaff.

But Author Petry, serious as she is about her seriously told plot, almost lets it take second place to other and better things: Negro life in broken-down Bumble Street, Aunt Abbie's sturdy effort to clothe her existence in dignity.
