Scrawling in the Sand. Making the princely local sum of $7 a month as headman, his father could afford the luxury of school for Tom at Kabaa mission, 25 miles away, where Roman Catholic priests were Irish and the fees were $14 a year. There, at nine, Tom scrawled his lessons in the sand under a shade tree, for classrooms were crowded and blackboards nonexistent.

Still attractive in her mid-30's she earns her living as a journalist, has her own little flat, a lover, and a fierce contempt for wealthy, married, gadabout women like her own sister...
Author Flannery O'Connor is a retiring, bookish spinster who dabbles in the variants of sin and salvation like some self-tutored backwoods theologian. She is an earnest Roman Catholic who raises geese and peacocks on the family farm near Milledgeville, Ga., which she rarely leaves; she suffers from lupus (a tuberculous disease of the skin and mucous membranes) that forces her to spend part of her life on crutches. Despite such relative immobility, Author O'Connor manages to visit remote and dreadful places of the human spirit. In Wise Blood (TIME, June 9 1952) and A Good...
