...leads the populace by pandering to their prejudices and passions; an unprincipled politician. 2. Anciently, any popular leader or orator." Which definition was in the mind of modern up-to-the-minute TIME's usually accurate reportorial staff? I think an answer is due a subscriber and reader of long standing. I make no further comment here on this point lest I appear to be trying to put the answer in your mouth, figuratively sneaking...
...history in the making told through the lives of four of the greats. Mr. Maurois is particularly witty in his new biography, one of the best that he has turned out to date. Mr. Belloc has successfully evaded dullness and boredom in his tale of King Charles, and the reader will find him inspiring and enjoyable throughout.

Everyone agrees there is no serious objection to presenting German movies as French films are now provided; all are at one in desiring action on the matter...
...alleged novel, Karl and the 20th Century focuses from time to time on its little hero's helpless struggles to keep his head above the flood; but Author Brunngraber's dogged attempt toall the ground results in a kaleidoscope of fact which sometimes dizzies, sometimes dulls the reader's attention. With more statistics to the squarehead paragraph than are contained in a chapter of John Dos Passos' 42nd Paralled or 1919, Author Brunngraber's complicated sum does not add up to nearly so impressive a human total. Failure though it must be rated, however, Karl...
