Buried away in this welter of polemics, a beautiful and well-modulated voice cries out for your attention. Stephen Sandy has written two new poems. The first, The Castor Bean Garden, is easily the most worthwhile item in this Mosaic, and also the most competent, well-pruned poem I have read in a Harvard publication. Sandy's intricate patterns of internal rhyme and his lush, but controlled alliteration give his poem just the the right form to complement his subject matter, which is the opposition of careful symmetry and undisciplined luxuriance. His second piece, Shoppers' World, struck me as slightly...
...much of the paper's shorter material is useless. Inconsequential one-paragraph news stories merely add to the welter of material, and the more homey ones are reminiscent of Grit, a family weekly that used to specialize in colloquial good will and pictures of giraffes. If there is anything this country doesn't need it, is another Grit...

With him, settling down for an indefinite stay in Morocco, was the top leadership of the F.L.N. Evident purpose...
...them as Board Chairman Joseph F. Reilly, 55, Vice Chairman Charles J. Bocklet, Finance Committee Chairman James R. Dyer, 56, and Floor Transactions Committee Chairman John J. Mann, 54. Under their command, President Edward T. McCormick, 50, who resigned his $75,000-a-year job last month in a welter of criticism (TIME, Dec. 22), had his duties reduced to that of a fulltime salesman primarily concerned with getting new companies to list their stock on the Exchange. In at least ten cases, SEC said, McCormick put himself in a position to profit from new listings by buying stock before...
