...confused as to what makes a liberal as liberals are about underdogs. A few months ago you had Walter Lippmann neatly defined as at once liberal and conservative, in March you said Paul Anderson could now write "liberal" articles, meaning pro-New Deal, and two weeks ago your Art critic did some fancy theological hairsplitting about Old Liberal Lippmann and New Liberal Lewis Mumford, the sense of which was that they had nothing in common. After that I expected the worst, which came last week: "The partners in a Yorkshire textile mill, Alfred Armistead, liberal Conservative, and Henry Hinchliffe, conservative...
Pluck 6 Luck. If the career of the Mercury Theatre, which next week will be six months old, seems amazing, the career of Orson Welles, who this week is 23, is no less so. Were Welles's 23 years set forth in fiction form, any self-respecting critic would damn the story as too implausible for serious consideration...
...which I am quite willing posterity should know me. . . . But I am glad to think that a portrait of myself is not to appear in the exhibition of the Royal Academy."

Betty Alden has left her Beacon Hill underworld to jot notes on criminals at large and passes by to speak to the Herald's music critic. Tomorrow we will see in her column, "Miss So-and-So came down from the North Shore and wore sophisticated black . . . . Miss Snitz, one of our most charming buds, was enjoying herself among the older people," etc. The whole evening--the music, the audience, the atmosphere--has a certain nostalgic...
Edgar Zodiag Friedenberg, 17, is the youngest person ever to appear on a convention program of the American Chemical Society. He is also the brashest. A precocious, articulate young man with an active mind and critical spirit, son of a retired Louisiana merchant, Edgar will graduate this June, loaded with honors, from Centenary College (Shreveport, La.), expects to start graduate study next fall at Stanford. In his 17 years Edgar Friedenberg has been much annoyed by scientific jargon. Last week he addressed the conference on chemical education during the society's spring meeting at Dallas. Far from displaying stage...
