...Hara's portraits of men over 40, since he paints them as depraved, smug, or made cowardly by the fear of publicity, writes unconvincingly of Gloria's family life. Gloria and Eddie, rattling off interrupted reminiscences of childhood, wisecracking and communicating in scrambled, mocking cliches, understand one an-other so completely that, John O'Hara insinuates, only Eddie might have saved her. And this Eddie could not do. The high point of Butterfidd 8 is their tragic, humiliating, unsuccessful attempt to give their companionship an emotional substance, when Gloria realizes that she loves him. It is typical...

...cannot understand why the current Harvard Advocate has not been banned from the mails or at least denied circulation in Cambridge. The conclusion of the turtle-egg story contains barefaced indecency. And the letter from an "Expatriate", called "Glittering Pie" is the smuttiest of vulgarity.

As patrons of music, big industry has supplanted the individual Maecenas. General Motors plans to spend $300,000 on its Sunday night broadcasts and Ford has outlined a budget almost as big. Ambitious tour of the season will come in the spring when the Philadelphia Orchestra will play...
...successful than the English, primarily because the English teach the natives to read, and make colonial administration a career while the French look upon it only as a temporary ordeal. In studying the natives, with the insight Benga provided, Geoffrey Gorer came to the conclusion that white men cannot understand the mental processes of true savages, who have no time-sense. Before his journey was over, Geoffrey Gorer was prepared to accuse such writers on Africa as Paul Morand and William Seabrook of "naïve diabolism," of having written misleading reports. He believes that African Negroes, like the Amerindians...
