...whole life is vowed to revenge. From Venice, where his sister Narcissa lives in anxious pomp with her noble Italian husband, Kit spins the cabled threads of a financial web in which to catch his father, bring him to his knees.

No more stooped than 90 % of TIME readers. I have for years sought an exercise that would result in an erect carriage. Arrived at the ripe old age of 40, had thought it now too late to attempt it further. TIME's remark gives encouragement. Possibly just one of Wheat Man Murphy's exercises would be news. . . . Just another "cover-to-cover" reader. JOHN M. BEARD Delphos, Ohio TIME erred in attributing Frederick Murphy...
