Pleasant Reading

We also had some pleasant
reading experiences in 1859:
ames Thurber's "THE
YEARS WITH ROSS" was a
joy; so was Elizabeth Jen-
kins' biography of an older
monarch, "ELIZABETH THE
GREAT" Margaret Parton's
ct HE LEAF AND THE
FLAME" was a beautifully
stated and sensitively defined
memoir of India. Carl My
dams "reminiscences of a life
time Of taking pictures,
MORE THAN MEETS THE
EYE" was a book that was
decent and vivid. The reissue
of the memoirs of Saint
Simon, "SAINT-SIMON AT
VERSAILLES" was a re-
minder that the world has
progressed in many ways but
has never produced a more
gifted observer of human
folly in high places.

History and
Biography
THE ROAD TO HARPEI

THE ROAD TO HARPERS
FERRY, by j. C. Furnas
(Sloane; So is a good ex-
ample Of the biography that
broadens into the whole his
torical background which
produced a man.
Mr.. FurnaS wrote not only
a story of John Brown and
of his raid on the arsenal
at Harpers Ferry in 1859
an exploit that would be
comic opera if it were not
so tragic-but of how a
fanatic like John Brown
came to be. Why was he
backed by the Secret Six,
New England intellectuals
who hardly knew him but
were violently anti-slavery?
Mr.. Furnas goes into the
history OF slavery ana slave
ships, the abolition of the
slave trade by all European
nations in the early 1800s
and the atmosphere in which
"Old Brown" f1ournished. The
result is a scholarly yet very
readable book, an important
contribution to American
history.

THE 1859 LITERARY SCENE
The Year Brought Many
Books of Varied Merit

The year soon to pass into
history brought few out
standing books, but a good
many that will reward the
reader in various ways-a
fresh approach to past
events, entertainment, COM
petent if rarely inspired writ
ing.
And yet one book does
stand out. This is THE

erous. kindly and likeable
President who lacked great

fairness, as a product Of his

sbest-seller lists all over the
country since its publication
in August. This detailed
study of a fictitious but per-
haps typical Senate, engaged
at the moment in a fight
over the confirmation of a
controversial Secretary of
State, has been praised highly
in all but a few reviews. This
remarkable book by a former
Star reporter is to be made
into a stage production due to
open in the fall and later
into a movie.
The year no doubt had its
share of competent novels,
some of them a little above
that, and yet it seems to me
that, on the whole, non-fic-
ton has been better than
fiction-more unusual, better
written.
Several books of biography
and history (intermingled
and overlapping f1elds) were
more than competent.

The years fiction did not,
IN the aggregate, equal some
other recent years, but
brought its share of absorb

We have William Faulk-

Of contrary critical opinion,
I feel that it is one of Mr..

There were several first
novels of unusual merit.
One was LION AT MY.

READING AND WRITING
An Abject Episode in
Our Intellectual Life

many-layered sophistries
were painful to read and
hear, the response Of the
guardians of the public
morality, the congressman,
was equally. If not more dis
maying. The blessings of God
were called down on him; his
employers were besought to
await public opinion before
firing him. Only Repre-
sentative Derounion was
hardy enough to say it wasn't
so wonderful merely to tell
the truth at last.
1t was an abject episode
in American intellectual life,
and it remained for a fellow
professor, Hans j. Morgen-
thau to put the affair in
ethical perspective. In a
blunt, eloquent article in the
New York Times magazine,
professor Morgenthau point
ed out the moral illiteracy"
that the action and the reac-
ton showed.
His peroration deserves
quotation in full:
I'm the world Of Van
Doren, American society be-
holds its own world, the
world of business and poll
tics, or wealth and power. 1t
cannot condemn him without
condemning itself, and since
it is unwilling to do the
latter it cannot bring itself
to do the former. Instead it
tends to absolve him by con-
fusing the virtues of COM
passion and charity for the
actor with the vice condon-
ing the act. Yet by refusing
to condemn Van Doren. it
cannot but condemn itself.
For it convictS itself of a
moral obtuseness which sig
nif1es the beginning Of the
end of civilized society"

BY CASPER NAMES

RELIGIOUS News Editor Of The Star
Present and past church
leaders Of Washington were
active during 1859 publishing
works on religious topics.
Their output forms an i'm
pressive segment in the con-
tinuing avalanche Of writing
on the spiritual side of cur
rent American civilization.
This outpouring of novels,
biographies, histories and
essays indicates a widespread
interest regarding the rele-
vance Of religion to life.
1t refutes the view that
the contemporary religious
revival is spent or merely
superficial. To read takes
time and effort. To buy books
is costly. People willing to do

otoA 1NoA "AAtCA
No words written or spoken
in the year almost gone
struck us as more meaning
ful-or appalling-than those
contained in the mimeo-
graphed statement which
Charles Van Doren read to
the House Legislative Over
sight Committee on Novem-
Der 2.
A lot more than the pub
lies confidence in television
was riding with the young
professor that morning. There
was, for instance. the belief
tnat a man who has been
exposed all his life to hu-
manity's noblest thoughts
and expressions comes better
armed to the struggle between
good and evil than the un-
lettered contenders who
merely grope from crisis to
crisis. And the belief that
the strongholds of humanism
and intellectualiSm would
hold against the sophistries
of Madison avenue. Their
supposed spokesman produced
none other than the Oldest
one of all-that the end
juStif1es the means.
For Mr.. Van Doren, in his
self-serving apologize, revealed
an ethical ignorance as deep
as his deception.
Had Been Foolish
Good and evil he men,
toned. The words right"
and wrong" never crossed
his lips. He characterized
himself as foolish" And
his most unbelievable affront,
in many ways, was to repeat
the words of his producer
tempter: "He also stressed
the fact that by appearing on
a nationally televised pro-
gram I would be doing a great
service to the intellectual life,
to teachers and to education
in general by increasing
public respect for the world
Of the mind through my per-
formance."
There was the self-pitying
naturalization: II think I
may be the only person who
ever read 18th century poetry
on a network television pro-
gram" Maybe he is, or was
and certainly it is admirable,
but it is the first time that
anyone ever suggested that
reading Vaughan and Herber
to the masses is an excuse for
living a lie, as Mr.. Van Doren
did.
Mr.. Van Doren asked us to
believe that he, a man who
had read the Greek dramas
with their terrible ethical
agonies. had his sleeping
conscience touched by a
letter from an unknown
woman who advised him to
own up. 1t was easier to ac-
cept his admission that he
was unable to walk out and
slam the door on a $4,000
a year job"
COrkscrew Morality
There was the corkscreW
morality Of his contention
that after being given a
chance to tell the truth he
decided against it on the
grounds he could not "betray"
the people who had expressed
their confidence in him. What
do words mean any more?
But If Mr.. Van Doren's
