Your review of the cinema, The Lost Moment [TIME, Dec 8], based on the adumbrated novel by Henry James, the scribbler (to use the vulgar expression), is sufficient, I think, to suggest the ponderous prose, the-some personages might almost label-circum-locuted prose of Henry, the dear fusspot, James, but, may one reflect, and I do appreciate your unwonted forbearance, that the pages of TIME are not precisely the place-one may relievedly observe-where one expects to encounter . . . the ambiguous, attenuated, ' grayed verbiage, the niceties of the vaporous review mentioned somewhere above...

Some of them are in the Communists' own conspiratorial patterns. A reporter tracing anti-Communist forces in Milan this month could begin in the Great Hall of Sacred Heart University, on the day of Milan's patron saint, and arrive by a fairly short line at a midnight session with machine guns of the Catholic underground...
