Today, as No. 1 U. S. Buyer, he still wastes too much time being nice to all comers. A weekend high-gos golfer, he holds a long-distance (not accuracy) driving record at Chicago's Bob O'Link Golf Club; he is said to have the longest, most exasperating hook outside a Wodehouse story. He smokes cigars, cigarets, and his huge fumigatory pipe, drinks Scotch highballs, dieted 20 Ib. off before going to Washington, has eaten them back on with interest.

For one thing, its stories are mostly mythological or fanciful, handled as though in a complete vacuum, with not the slightest trace of anything to link them with real life. The music, too, is defective in that it is addicted to effect and picturization rather than spontaneous expression. But probably what makes old-style ballet so sterile is the fact that this is primarily not a dancing age: that is, it is an age in which...
