Tse-tung's regime into the
United Nations. He finds
something to say cogently
both for and against the
Yalta agreements.
Some of Prof. Leopold's
Characterization are note
worthy. OF our commander
in-chief in the Pacific he says
of his postwar role in Japan:
Macarthur brought to his
task a unique personality and
a dedicated spirit. Regal in
bearing, imperious in man
ner, versed in Asia'S history
and convinced of his destiny
to rebuild the empire he had
helped crush, the general
combined in one being the
goth century war hero, the
10Th century proconSul, and
the 9th century Mikado, the
Viceroy of Heaven on earth"
Six Challenges
Prof. Leopold concludes his
book with what he terms the
six challenges to American
foreign policy. These are
flexibility in foreign policy;
understanding of the aspira-
tons of millions who inhabit
distant places and inherit
different cultures: compe-
tency in the conduct of for
eign affairs; a strong mil
itary establishment; arms
control; and creative intel
ligence, including not letting
short range considerations
hobble long-range detectives.
Our citizens, he says, must
learn to live with crisis and
renounce forever the notion
that there are complete solu-
lions to the dangers that be-
set them"
OF considerable value is
also the extensive bibliog-
raphy the author appends to
the book to open up addi-
tional study on each of his
chapters. 1t is obvious that a
stupendous amount of read
ing went into his writing.

revelatory moments. "I doubt
I should not do we'll" His
son, Cotton, tried three times
to be elected president of
Harvard, but although he
had condoned the burning of
witches in Salem and had
staged a private and noble
burning of books right in
Harvard Yard, he never got
the nod, and had to be con-
tent with the claim to fame
of suggesting the n a m e
yale" for another young col
lege in New Haven.
The story continues with
the gradual emancipation
from the bondage of the
church, the creation Of a fac
ulty second to none in the
world, and the development
of a student body. Many of
the more savory Harvardmen
are noticed briefly and wit
tily-Roosevelt I and II,
Kennedy, Emerson, Thoreau,
Hooton, Copeland. and
George Pierce Baker.
Alternating with chapters
of Harvard history are those
of Bissell history and Bissell
comment. The receptive
reader can learn almost
everything worth knowing
about the Yard, the Crimson,
the Team, cram schools, the
accent, culture, institutional
architecture, the delights of
eating in Locke Ober's and
Jacob Wirth's, non-amateur
athletics, Embarrassing, and
how to endure a perform
ance by the HaSty Pudding.
Also he can get an inside
picture Of the college career
of young BisSell himself -
how he was permanently dis
couraged from the pursuit of
English literature by a fruit
less attempt to read PAIRING
ton, how he then turned to
anthropology instead, and
how a college degree got him
into and out of the under
wear and pajama game.
Whatever aspect of Har-
ward BiSsell fixes upon he
always makes entertaining,
for he is one of the most
talented comics now writing.
His fun is that of the intel
lectual consciously superior
to his competition. He rel
lshes the manufacture of his
own cliches, and particularly
delights in debating Cultural
Co-ordinator August Heck
Scher yale 1867. All in all, I
suppose, it is better to ex-
perience Harvard in person
than vicariously through Mr..
Bissells book. However, if
one is denied (through age,
Indulgence, or weak brains)
the former advantage, he GER
tainly should not fail,
through indifference, to make
the most of the latter. Mr..
Bissell avows that he loves
Harvard's every damn brick,
cinder block, and soil pipe,
from the dawn-age founda-
tons Of the Indian College
under Matthews Hall to the
most minute fragment of
concrete in the new LIE Cor
buster 5-Level Visual Arts
Center in open flexible space
with knobs on it." His book
communicates and shares its
authors love.

Malcolm Lowry:
An Uneven Novel
Of Some Style
ULTRAMARTNE A novel

ULTRAMARINE. A novel by
Malcolm Lowry. Oippin-
colt; $4.95.)
The fame of a novelist
sometimes spoken of as one
of the best of the Twentieth
Century was made by a sin
gle book-"Under the Vol
cano." Malcolm Lowry's other
mature novel, I'm Ballast
to the White Sea-" was lost
when the manuscript was
destroyed in a fire in 1914,
and his first novel, Ultra
marine" published in 1893,
is only now reprinted. 1t has
revisionS by the author.
Mr.. Lowry was born in
England in 1909 and after
living much of his life in the
United States and Canada,
died in Sussex in 1857. "Ul-
tramarine" is autobiography
ical, at least in its externals.
Mr.. Lowry in 1929 left Cam
bridge to go to sea on a
tramp freighter and prove
his manhood in the rough
society of common seamen.
He. like his hero Dana Hill
hot, got off to a bad start
when he arrived at dockside
in his fathers limousine. and
was helped with his duffel
by the chauffeur. Such an
arrival of cabin boy is. nat

One of Those Rare Novels
ThutMuke You Luuqh Aloud

DON'T GO AWAY MAD!
By Joseph Hayes. (Ran-
dom House; $4.95D
This book may abound in
cornball situations and hui
NOR but it has the undeni-
able property Of inducing
loud, uncomfortable laugh
ter even if you are reading
it on a bus. How many novels
these days can make this
claim? 1t also has the bonus
virtue of making you weak
with relief that somehow you
never got around to finish
writing that play you have
been brooding about for
years. Miriam Travis, the
heroine of Don't Go Away
Mad!" did finish her play,
fortunately, and did find it
a New York producer, and
what happens to the poor
girl as a result of this tri-
umph is horrendous.
Don't be put off by a rath-
er banal opening in the Mid
western college town where
Miriam and her husband live.
The author is simply idling
his motor while waiting to
take off for New York. Come
to think of it, the real weak
nesseS in the book are always
those concerned with the
meanwhile back on the
campus misadventures Of
Miriam's husband. (There's
something odd about the
man, anyway. He's a chem
istry professor, it says, but
he keeps having to adjust a
microscope for a predatory
female student in his class.

Since she is native Russian Mrs. Fischer was able

that the Russians live BETTER and fear less have been
well documented by visitors who preceded Mrs Fischer

His job on Pandit Nehru,

"JuSt how shall we define

wife's death.
What Dame Edith brings
is an extravaganza of Ian
guage and feeling that &C
cords we'll with the extrava-
CANT events she describes.
And she is ever the poet. a
happy circumstance for one
recording England's most
poetic age.
Vivid Portraits
THE Queens and the Hive"
abounds in great, theatrical
scenes and vivid protraitS of
those two astonishing women
and their followers.
Dame Edith is superbly
ironic considering Mary's
nemesis, John Knox, who did
not always practice what he
preached.
Here is Lord Darnley,
Mary's unworthy first hus-
band. with his white, flaccid
meaningless face, with his
curling marigold hair and
his long hands like satin
gloves filled with damp sand"
Here is William Cecil,
Elizabeth's great first min
lister: I'm his earlier life there
was a darkness in him-a

discreet middle-c respect

Dame Edith admires Queen
Elizabeth, as all must, for
her lions heart and splendid
intellect. She also seems to
have succumbed, as Eliza
beth did, to Robert Dudley,
the Earl Of Leicester, a bold
and conniving man, whom
Elizabeth loved all her life.
She deplores Elizabeth's saw
age persecution to the Jesuit
martyrs, and being English
almost equally, her cruelty
to animals.
With Mary Stuart, who
won mems hearts as her
cousin won their minds, she
is less successful. Mary with
her hapless passions and her
amending intrigues. charmed
people all her life. Dame
Edith does not suggest why.
But she does the unhappy
woman full justice in her
noble death in the great hall
of Fotheringay Castle. Mary

Today, in You Can AL
ways Tell a Harvard Man"
(Subtitled, like DR.. Eliot'S
Five Foot Shelf OF Books,
"Veritas") Mr.. Bissell man
ages once more to bring off
the same trick. What is on
the surface the autobiogra-
ply Of a Harvard undergrad
uate passionately in love
with his college is in a deep
er sense a history of the
venerable institution and a
candid and sharp picture of
it as it exists today. Every
detail of the account is in
fused with Mr.. BisSell's mer-
ry fun and his nevG-failing
gift of humOr
Harvard was founded in a
New England colony which
numbered among it's resi-
dents about a hundred alum
nj Of Oxford and Cambridge.
The time was II years after
the landing on Plymouth
Rock. At first the institution
had no name, but within
two years young John Har-
ward, who lived in Charles
town, Mass, and who so far
as is known never set foot
in Cambridge, Mass, died,
bequeathing the new college
half of his fortune, ITO
pounds, II shillings and tup-
pence, together with his Ii
brary of 400 books, and the
Queens Head Tavern in
Southwark, on the outskirts
of London. AS this was con-
siderably more than twice
the money that had already
been devoted to the college,
1t was only fair that the
young school be given the
name of its benefactor. John
Harvard doubtless not only
is cheered by the fact that
one of the worlds greatest
universities bears his name,
