author, a Brazilian-born daughter
of an American Baptist missionary,
who spent most of her preuniversity
life in Brazil.
Mrs. Chamberlain, now married
to a New York newspaper cartoonist
(who does the illustrations for this
book and the mother of three
young sons, relates in ingenious
fashion something of her girlhood
struggle to reconcile the liberal
mores of her playmates, servants
and townspeople with the rigid code
of her likewise missionary mother.
1t is obvious that Mrs. Chamber
lain bears more. than a sentimental
attachment for the land of her birth
and for its people from whom she
learned much about human rela-
tionships She points up sharply
that it was only when she came to
the United States that she discov-
cred humans hate or scorn others
simply because of different skin pig
ment. With her, color distinction
worked differently in Brazil. Her
first day in school she contrasted
her own red hair and freckled face
with the straight black hair of the
brunette little senhoritas and it was
she who prayed to God to make her
like the rest.

( WILLIAM H. HARRISON.
This is the second OF the APPS
news ANIMALS. Like the first-which
was published last year as a review
OF the mighty events of 1945-it
follows sound pattern OF organiza-
ton. First, there is a background
chapter, and then chaper for each
month, with day-by-day chronol-
ogy appended. The volume closes
with a chapter on the arts and an
other on science. There are scores
Of fine pictures and a good index.
In its own words, the volume
compiled and edited by Dewitt Mac
kenzie-is the story of a year dis
titled from the vast volume of dis
patches and pictures produced dur
ing 1916 by Associated Press corre-
spondents and photographers around
the world. 1t deals with the first
IL months of an uneasy peace, and
with all the things that happened
at home and abroad during them
the Nuremberg trial and executions
the coal strike, the Republican land
slide last November, the atomic ex-
plosions at Bikini, the OPA decon-
trolls, the railroad strike, the fate
full diplomatic contest between the
United States and Russia, and a
great number of other events, in
Guiding the lighter ones that tend
ed to leaven the troubled whole with
a touch of human comedy and hui

Because it tells this story compre-

and in a form that lends itself te
ready reference, the APPS second

many types of readers. Though it has
flaws and is certainly not CON-

ice to teachers, editors and others
whose daily work requires a com

nature. At the same time, people

More eFoxes to
Write About
THE VIXENS
BY Frank Yerby. (Dial Press;
- 75

BY Frank Yerby. (DiaI Press;
$2.75.J
In a way, "The vixens'' is sequel
to Mr.. Yerby's best-seller, THE
Foxes Of Harrow" The period OF
the new novel is the Reconstruction
era, while the earlier book was about
ante-bellum years. New Orleans is
the locale of both tales. Etienne,
sadistic son of Stephen Fox, is. a
minor character in "The Vixens."
The central figure OF the new book
is Laird Fournois, of an old New
Orleans family, who returns from
the. war Scalawag among his
townsmen because he chose as a
matter OF principle to fight for the
Union. Capt. Fournois is. hated, but
respected for his quick temper and
his prowess in close combat. The
women like him, in spite of his war
record, for his masculine charm.
Laird falls hard for his Confed-
crate brothers sister-in-law, Denise
Lascals, and she returns the feel
ing, which is putting it mildly. But
Laird, seeing himself as future gov
ernor in the so-called radical re-
gime of Louisiana, decides for rea-
sons of money and power to marry
Sabrina McEugh. Sabrina, mean
while, has seen her father die in her
arms during one of the many riots
that swept New Orleans in that
day. And her mind Is clouded, even
on her wedding night. She never
recovers. Laird and Denise continue
to meet, more or less in secret. In
the end, after several years have
gone their melodramatic way, the
author disposes of Sabrina;; Laird
and Denise are free at last.
This is an overwritten, sometimes
preposterous story of love, intrigue
and violence. Mr.. Yerby clearly
feels that the hotheads of Louisiana
were the real Williams of the Recon-
struction strife which caused such
bloodshed and chaos. In fact, he
remarks, not bothering to attribute
it to a character:
Anu II Inere was some JuStlnca-
ton in the claims that the South
was being misgoverned and robbed,
be it remembered that the precise
difference between them and their
opponents, the Carpetbagger anc
the Scalawag, was that difference
which separates a thief from a
murderer-a difference recognized
even in the law of that day." page
21O.)
There was, undeniably, savage
racism, cruel retaliation from the
Soutnerners. But it might have oc-
CURED to MIR. Yerby that these vio-
lent measures were provoked by the
sort of government which was
forced on the South A decent ad-
ministration might have prevented
hatred which smoldered the better
part of century.
THE Vixens," despite its perfervid
passages and the indignation which
infuses it, is an exciting tale. It
may sell as widely as '"The Foxes of

Russia S Early Plan

ALEXANDER OF RUSSIA:
THE MAN WHO DEFEATED
NAPOLEON
BY Leonid I. Strakhovsky. Nv. w.
Norton G. Co.,; $780,
Reviewed by
HOMER JOSEPH DODGE.

Reviewed by
HOMER JOSEPH DODGE.
This book should be of value to
Americans because it throws addi-
tional light on the Russian char
actor at time when the subject
has more than historical interest.
BY a Russian about a Russian who
was one of the more important fig
ures of the 10Th century, the work
adds to the evidence that they are a
beWildering people - sentimental
courageous, mystical, fanatic and
almost wholly unaccountable to the
Occidental mind.
But it does not clarity the charac-
ter of Alexander; he is as battling in
this book as he was to his contem-
poraries.
Assuredly he was at the head of
a coalition which brought Napo-
Icons downfall at Leipzig, but that
was not the end. One of the most
remarkable statements made in this
or any other book is: 'The nations
which did the least, however, OBJ
tanned the most. They were England
and Austria" One passing reference
is made to Waterloo; Trafalgar is
mentioned not at all.
While other histories blame Alex
ander for the long period of despo-
tism and oppression in Russia, Mr.
Strakhovsky blames his minister
Count Arakcheyev. He does show
that the Emperor was perhaps too
much engrossed in making friends
evangelically with Quakers, Cath
olics, Jews, Methodists and other
sects. He did have time to plan an
ideal state where every subject
should work part of the time for
himself, part for the state, and be
completely regimented in all his &C.
tions-an imperialistic forerunner OF
the Soviet system.
The book adds interesting evil
dence concerning the mystery as to
whether Alexander died in 1925 at
Taganrog, as the formal histories
say, or lived as the half-hermit
monk Fyodor Kuzmich in Siberia
until 1864. Perhaps the most val
liable part of the book is the truly
remarkable photography containing
no less than 295 references.
