...Italians. With 120 members, Christ Church today shares its building with an Italian congregation. Pastor Wenner preaches on occasion, edits Der Sonntagsgast (The Sunday Visitor) in German which he had to learn years ago. A pioneer advocate of weekday religious instruction for children, Dr. Wenner has written many a tome, still doaders gently among his books and papers. Last week he spoke briefly at Christ Church at an anniversary service which was much more quiet than the one on his birthday last May. Of his long service Pastor Wenner said simply: "I stay here because I like the Lutheran Church...
...DECLINE OF AMERICAN CAPITALISM-Lewis Corey-Covici, Friede ($4). Readers who want to know the orthodox Communist point of view toward U. S. history, politics, business and society will find it on the grand scale in Economist Corey's huge tome. With its 622 pages divided into 26 chapters and well packed with dramatic graphs, notes, sources and index, The Decline of American Capitalism is the most exhaustive critique of U. S. social structure from the Marxian slant yet to appear. Other economists will dispute Author Corey's charts, tables, sources, as well as conclusions, but they cannot...
...David G. Plotkin?Covici, Friede ($2). One hundred and five drawings in Cartoonist Soglow's more rowdy, bawdy, free-line manner, together with a treatise by Idea Man Plotkin on the "dialectical message that all is not on the level." constitute the subject matter of this large flat tome.

The result is an original opus instead of a collection of Artist Soglow's previously published pictures from the New Yorker and the New Classes...

The Mysterious Universe by Sir James has sold 123,000 copies in Great Britain, 39,000 in the U. S. The Nature of the Physical World by Sir Arthur, a fatter and costlier tome, has sold 20,000 copies in Britain, 33,000 in the U. S. Both books have been translated into a half-dozen languages. Aware that Einstein considers Eddington the foremost exponent of Relativity, many an impartial appraiser is inclined to give Eddington a slight edge over Jeans as a pure...
...roaming along the bookshelves looking for some ancient tome. As he paced down the gallery a queer little man with a roguish permanent grin came to his side, watching him curiously. Professor Lake was about to ask the stranger if he knew the where-abouts of the needed volume, but before he could say anything the gnomic little man caught him by the arm, and, chuckling a typically library-muted chuckle, pulled him for miles along the gallery. After a long walk in silence they came to a large room, set apart from the rest of the great library, which...
