...decide what it is about 39-year-old Violinist Spivakovsky's playing they like most. His technique is flawless, and his tone is big and humid. Some wonder if he gets both his tone and technique by holding his bow-arm elbow so high; orthodox violin teachers tell students who go to his concerts: "Listen but don't look."

Colonel Ralph Isham's astonishingly successful search for missing Johnson and Boswell manuscripts since World War I (TIME, Nov. 29). Miss Barton's book is highly readable biography in its own right and one of those solid English performances as thick and tasty as an English pudding...
