Newest minstrel of Arthurian romance is bearded, falconry-loving T. H. White, onetime English schoolmaster. The Sword in the Stone (1938), a tale of young Arthur's education in the hands of the wizard Merlyn, was so brightly fanciful that Walt Disney purchased it to succeed Snow White, Pinocchio, etc. The Witch in the Wood (1939) was a more slapdash account of Arthur's early kingship. This week appears the best of the series: The Ill-Made Knight, a whimsical chronicle of Arthur's further attempts to found civilization by channeling Might, via the Round Table, into...
Adams' first tally was set up in the first period by a pass from Bobby James to Walt Jenkins on the ten-yard line. James scored the touchdown on an off-tackle smash. The second score was made in the last ten seconds of play. Parkie Pitts intercepted a Leverett pass on the Bunny 30-yard line, and lateraled to "Cully" Culliton, who scampered 35 yards to score. A James-to-Healy pass made the conversion...

About a dozen men make $10,000 to $15,000. One of these is a staff artist for Cinemanimator Walt Disney-salary, $12,000. The group includes a physical scientist and a physiologist who are university department heads; a 32-year-old aeronautical engineer who is coordinator of research in a $10,000,000 laboratory; also jazz-band players, ghost writers, radio announcers, a fox farmer, a rare-stamp dealer...
Artist Daniel warmed up on Walt by making 14 etchings for Song of the Open Road, lettering the text on copperplates for a limited edition which sold for $150 a copy. His Leaves of Grass illustrations he painted in oil, and drew with a greasy lithographer's crayon, on paper. Full of movement, their swirling designs bursting with life, Daniel's drawings would probably have pleased Walt Whitman. The bearded poet appeared in some of the pictures, striding along, flying through the air, loafing and inviting his soul. Salut au Monde! (see cut) showed him crying...
