...Slender, underweight (132 Ib.), blue-eyed Henry L. Olson, 25, onetime farm boy, was invalided home last summer-weighing 112 pounds.

These are both fine journeyman achievements; not as much can be said for John Crockett's "Elegy," deeply ingrained in the over-plushed tradition of last year's Advocate...
