READING AND WRITING
Viva L'|toIio' Is Spelled Out
Con Amore by Aubrey Menen

,Iot that familiarity has
brought contempt, or any
thing like it. Mr.. Menen does
not set out to disillusion his
readers or future travellers.
In his short, limpid SEN
fences, he simply tells what
Italy is. and what it is not.
He lives there, he tells us in
brief preface because it seems
to him that human nature
works here much as the Gre
atoF intended"
The point is illustrated in
13 sketches of various cities
and customs (some of which
have already appeared in
Holiday Magazine), in which
Mr.. Menen tries to explain
why it is that Naples, which
is wretchedly poor and abom-
lnably mlSgoverned, has pro-
duced Neapolitans. That COM
bination of squalor and joie
de vivre which has baffled
travellers for centuries comes,
he concludes, from that
depth of human feeling
which marks a Neapolitan,
wherever he may be, for as
long as he lives"
Mr.. Menen is equally en-
tightening about alfi,
Milan. San Gimigniano and
the Vatican, about the ro-
mantle absurdities of the men
and the impossibility of
speaking the language like a
native.

They break up for good, not,

cause of Josee's infidelity, but
because she is unable to kiss

themselves are always scented
with an unmistakable attrac-
tive spice. There are never
any loose ends.
In THE Wonderful Clouds"
the title of which is taken
from a prose poem of Baude-
laire, the American Alan is
irrevocably in love with his
French wife, Josee. His pas
sion takes a sadistic turn in
his ceaseless quizzing of her
about her past love affairs,
and he is shattered by jeal-
ousy provoked by possible
current ones. JoSee is, in fact,
a faithful wife, and one SEN
sitive to Alan'S emotional
predicament; bitter exasper-
alton, however, goads her
into two spontaneous adul-
terieS.
The couple separate and
then are reunited, Alan TAX
ing strenuously to painting as
a soporific for his torturing
jealousy. When he has ceased
inquiring about Josee's life
away from him, when he has
dismissed the vigilant private
detectives who shadow her.
she perversely feels compelled
to tell Alan the details of her
latest affair - details he no
longer asks for or wants.

BEST SPORTS STORIES

BEST SPORTS STORIES
1862. BY Irving T. Marsh
and Edward Ehre. &c. P.
Dutton & Co.; $4.50O
1t has long been the I'M
abashed contention of sports
writer's that some of the best
writing in newspapers is to
be found on the sports pages,
although if pinned down most
Of these contenders would
admit to hanging onto the
coattails of such as Quentin
Reynolds. Bob ConSidine,
Westbrook Pegler and a few
other distinguished graduates
Of the athletic scene.
Best Sports Stories 1862
probably doesn't prove the
claim; neither does it dis
prove it. But in this 18th
volume of the best sports
stories written for newspa-
pers and magazines the buff
is guaranteed a field day,
whether his leaning is to-
ward baseball, football, horse
racing, golf or boxing.
There can be no serious
quarrel with the judges
John Chamberlain, John
Hutchens and Quentin Rey-
nolds-as to their top choices
in the three categories. The
veteran Stanley Woodward
turned out the best news
coverage piece. a humorous
and yet graphic account of a
Columbia Princeton football
game. A better-wearing story
is the No. / news-feature
written by Howard M. Tuck
ner on Hirsch Jacobs, the
noted horse trainer, titled
Man With Horse Sense.
Tuckner, a comparative
newcomer to the upper
sportswriting bracket. turns
out a fascinating, lucid pro-
file on Trainer Jacobs, one in
which he captures the be-
hind-the-scepeS drama of
horse racing as few racing
writer's have done since the
late Joseph Palmer.
But the prize story in this
reviewers eyes was AL Stump's
chilling magazine (True)
story Of the last days of Ty
Cobb. AS Chamberlain prop
erly observed, it is a "terrify-
ing" story, and it is all of
that. 1t is a morbidly grip
ping account that is HAUNT
ing and likely as not to force
the reader, especially if he
were a baseball fan. to turn
back to it a second or even a
third time.
Cobb's worshipers may
choose to reject Stump's The
Fight To Live. although how
they can in clear conscience
is difficult to imagine. Stump
lived with the old firebrand
during his final days in a
desperate. all-out effort to
wiring out Of Cobb his life
story in book form. Stump's
The Fight To Live is a by
product of this hair-raising
experience and perhaps will
he better remembered than
the biography itself.

WICKED LADY. B

WICKED LADY. BY Inglis
Fletcher. CBobbs Merrill;
$4.50O
With this novel Inglis
Fletcher brings her Carolina
series. which began with
"Raleigh's Eden" in 1910. up
to the American Revolution.
The story tells of the great
desire Of people for liberty
and their willingness to give
all for 1t. Many of the
characters from her other
Carolina novels are here:
Stephen Cabarrus, Adam Rut-
ledge, Cosmo deMedici and
others. Also there are sharp
portrayals Of CORVALLIS and
Lafayette.
BY way of aside, Mrs.
Fletcher bought and restored
Bandon Plantation. in the
heart of the land about which
she writes, a site discovered
by a member of Sir Walter
Raleigh'S first unsuccessful
Roanoke venture in 1885.
She can look out any window
in her Edenton mansion and
behold the soil about which
she has cleyerly written IL
successful novels so far.

decision in the Dixon-Yates
matter. and the Decision in
the Senate"
OF this last, which resulted
in a refusal to confirm Mr..
Strauss as Secretary of Com
merce, the author writes:
LAS I review it. several
elements of opposition con-
verged at the vote and aug
mented one another. Anti
SemitiSm was certainly the
least of these, and negligible.
But there was the punitive
opposition by the advocates
of Government development
of electric power; the ami
mostly engendered by the
Oppenheimer case, the per-
Sonal animus of a Senator;
my strong belief in the para
mount importance of main
tanning the constitutional
principle of the separation
of powers and my defense
Of the Executive Branch in
that regard; my unfortunate
trait of stubbornneSs in re-
fusing to conciliate by con-
ceding error where error had
not occurred; for following
orders and honoring the oath
of office; and the opportunity
for a numerically superior
political opposition to strike
a blow at a popular Presi-
dent. :"
We have thought and still
think that the Senate's re-
fuSal to confirm Mr.. Strauss
was a gross injustice. But
the quoted paragraph reveals
much about Mr.. Strauss and
helps to explain the Senate
vote. j. H. c.

one or two are merely anec-
doteS. His women characters
are rather negligible. Ireland
is a mans country, and Mr..
Friels women are merely
members of the supporting
cast. The principal figures
are small boys, viewing the
wonders of their little world
with wide eyes, unsuccessful
ly coping, like their elders.
with the advent of technical
sophistications like the gram
aphone and progressive
teaching.
The title story. which is
typical, tells of an old Irish
sergeant who is suddenly
smitten with the fantastic
beauty of the Donegal sea-
scape. He is escorting two
members of a German graves
commission bent on exhum-
ing the body of a fallen Nazi
airman.
God, isn't it grand here?"
He breathes as the larks rise
singing. In a moment of
alteration he pleads with the
Germans to leave their COM
rade to rest in peace in such
glory.
Another lovely story is
THE Fawn Pup" the tale of
an Irish schoolteacher, seen
through the eyes of his son,
who decides to race one of
his greyhoundS. Like most
of the other stories. the VEN
ture ends in fiaSco. The inno-
cence of the Irish is matched
only by the splendor of their
dreams.
Mr.. Friel tells his stories in
clear. sparkling prose that
is shot through with the
realization that things are
seldom what they seem. and
that there can be a whole
biography in an unfinished
sentence.

no conjunction in following
the crowd.
Berenger is not a very in
telligent man. He alone
among all his fellows has no
point to make. no thesis to
expound. no action to initiate.
He drinks a little too much
because he is unhappy, not
quite believing in himself
nor yet able to be impressed
with the convictions of others.
He is troubled about rhinoc-
eritis, but nevertheless he
does not understand the
many explanations, solutions
and excuses of and for the
epidemic that he hears on
every side. The rhinoceros
must be accepted of neces-
sity; it should be accepted in
the name of inevitable
change; it is an interna-
tional matter, a manifesto
ton of one-world; religion
approves Of 1t because it is
created by God; certainly it
cannot be resisted because
as more and more people
join the herd to remain an
outsider would be an impos-
sible and needless torture.
Berenger does not refute
any of the arguments, for
most Of them seem to him
somehow right and reason
able. He does not advance
any argument of his own, and
he takes no aggressive stand
against the rhinoceros, which
his intellect gives him no
reason either to fear or hate.
But something deep in his
inner self rebels, and, when
he is the last human being
left in the village and he al
most yearns to feel the horns
on his head, he still says mo.
I am an individual and I will
stay a man." His act is not
heroic, rather it arouses pity,
but 1t is a Subconscious def
ance of the mass of mankind,
of human homogeneity.
Thoreau would have ap-
plauded it.
So -
Ionesco'S technical re-
sources in this play are ex-
traordinarily brilliant. Every
situation explodes into dra-
matte life and the humor that
efferveSces in every scene
never degenerates into mere
fun. The irony and wit of the
lines, the delightful word
play, and the marvellous over
whelming floods of the ridic-
ulous set the play far apart
from those which require
performance to come alive.
Unfortunately, Ionesco has
been badly served by his
translator. whose English
rendering is abominable. Not
only does the translator have
little ear for the rhythm of
speech, and the nicely of a
well-turned phrase, he often
seems oblivious of the very
meaning of the sentences he
is translating. "Rhinoceros"
is a work of lasting interest.
and it deserves a new and
better English version.

Herbert Hoover
The first decision" was to
abandon the shoe peddling
business and to throw in
with Herbert Hoover, who
soon was to save millions of
people from starvation. The
author developed then and
still retains an almost bound
less admiration for Mr..
Hoover, and he relates some
anecdotes concerning him
which will interest those
whose impressions Of the
former President derive
largely from memories Of the
depression and the Ratchet
job done on him by Demo-
cratic publicistS.
After a very successful ca
reer in Wall Street, Lewis
Strauss, with the advent of
World War II, went into the
Navy as a lieutenant COM
mander and emerged as a
rear admiral. In this connec-
ton, he relates a fascinating
story of faulty decision-mak-
ing which brought war to the
Pacific and which produced
the fateful decision to use
the atomic. bomb against
Japan. Although personally
satisfied that man has free
dom of choice, Mr.. Strauss
says that in these instances
