With these and other explosions, Art Critic Edward Alden Jewell last week blew up in the New York Times. He was writing about a proposed temporary Victory Arch for Manhattan's Times Square, to be erected when the boys come marching home. The scheme, sponsored by the Broadway Association, was described by its backers as "an arch fashioned to represent two huge palm leaves which are emblematic of Victory. . . .

Last week, in The Atlantic Monthly, she turned her critical attention to Elder Statesman Herbert Hoover's The Problems of Lasting Peace, written in collaboration with Elder Diplomat Hugh Gibson (TIME, July 6). Never noted as a motherly sort, Critic West sailed in with claws open, left Messrs. Hoover and Gibson considerably tattered. Critic West wrote...
