The author also describes
this highly skilled and repu-
table French security force
as comparable to our FBI

that. regardless of ambassa-
dors or other officials, they
often take the law into their

The first f1eeting thought
Is that the reason for this
work after 80 years must
have been that it took that
long to research it. (The bib
biographical essay alone takes
81 of the SGT pages).
For Lindbergh contempo-
raries it contains little new
information-just more of it.
But as historical reference
material for the younger gen.
Grafton, it should be not only
interesting but highly valu-
able.
Even the author, who did

be controversial.
He certainly selected a
good subject for it.

worth of Ogden NaSh's
work VERSES FROM 1929

$3.50 makes us realize that
here is a true and original
poetic genius Of permanent
standing.
These are timely verses that
upon rereading prove timeless.
Even the most topical are
still delightful. The secret
may be that Mr.. Nash accom-
plished that almost impossible
feat Of fashioning a new form
for his verse. The suspicious
would say formula" 1t
might be that, but this book
shows that where the solemn
poets were experimenting
with words Mr.. Nash was
perfecting a light, witty vo-
cabulary of his own. His
homemade words he turns to
good advantage in rhymes
that describe our times bet
ter than anybody suspected.
This collection is delightful
and lasting.
