...dying, but still he ordered the secret kept. He was too proud to ask for sympathy. He lay in a room whose windows looked out on a grove of larch trees, with placid fields beyond. His wife stayed with him. Occasionally his thin lips curled back from his long, uneven teeth in a grimace of pain. Once a German airman flew over Oldharn Village and dropped a rack of bombs. One fell within 40 yards of where Chamberlain lay and the man who had said "I think it is peace in our time" shuddered. When the end was near they...
Harvard's yell-coaxers committed a serious sin against the First Commandment of pious and right-living cheer leaders. The boys simply weren't together. Counterpoint is fine in a Beethoven concerto, and uneven entrance and exit of voices the distinguishing characteristic of a Bach fugue.

Of these they have snagged a pride, from Apostle Trotsky himself to such international camelo-pards as Andre Gide and Gertrude Stein. Latest catch is Poet T. S. Eliot's new, beautiful, 200-line poem for the current May-June issue...
...many artists and writers. Of the few serious writers able to work in New Mexico with a steady mind, Paul Horgan is one. Author of the Harper Prize Novel, The Fault of Angels (1933), Horgan has held the job of librarian at New Mexico Military Institute since 1926. Prolific, uneven, liable to fits of preciosity, his writing is at its thoughtful best in Figures in a Landscape...
