...reader of and as an enthusiast about TIME, I want to take you to task for publishing on p. 28 of the Oct. 9 issue a picture of Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr. I think that TIME shows decidedly poor taste in publishing a semi-nude picture of the President's son, when the boy has particularly requested that he be let alone, and that this photograph be not used. This is the type of thing expected from the racy tabloids, but not of your magazine. Even newspapers like the Times and the Herald Tribune did not publish this picture...
...have not. On every metropolitan daily we support a corps of gossips whose function it is to invade the offices, the houses, the motor cars, the jail cells of the prominent and of the unvirtuous, and to record all for the delectation of the multitude. For one reader of the small boxes on Bitler's foreign policy and the mechanics of his dispensation there are a thousand glutted in the gore of Stasefurt hardware dealers and privy to the use of the Nazl truncheon...
...liquor could be purchased-from Park & Tilford, oldtime fancy grocers, "if and when Repeal comes." A $10 deposit would guarantee delivery of a case of Old Grand Dad ($71.80), White Horse Scotch ($39-77) or a dozen bottles of Sauterne ($28.40) "as soon as legal."

Were not Park & Tilford...
...Really moving pictures of the past are made not by scholarship but by imagination. Authoress Waddell has resurrected the famed love-affair of Heloise and Abelard not simply by the dusting and patching of documents but by putting together many a vanished two and two. The result, as any reader may verify without benefit of historical knowledge. seems historically true. And though its horizon is ringed with the theological thunder of that far-off day, its medieval scholastic air is not oppressive but exhilarating. Peter Abelard is an exciting book...
...Majesty is chocolate brown and waddles like an ambulating lump of cocoa butter, but fatness is a mark of aristocratic birth in Abyssinia. Mother of six and a voracious reader of Western classics, she heaved herself from a special train onto Jerusalem's railroad station platform while a British band blared "The Lion of the Tribe of Judah is Victor!" -Abyssinia's national anthem. No pagan but a Coptic Christian, Her Majesty had come not only to visit Christian shrines but also to dedicate an Abyssinian Coptic Christian Church. Jerusalem's handful of Abyssinians excitedly waved date...
