Disney's last live-action features, such as The Happiest Millionaire (TIME, Dec. 15), cast doubt on his ability as a film maker. But in the area of the animated film, he unquestionably remained supreme to the end. The Jungle Book may be a perverse introduction to Rudyard Kipling, but it is the happiest possible way to remember Walt Disney...
...world's worst literature." Masefield died last week at 88 at the country home in Abingdon where he spent most of his time. Fortunately, he had written much of his best poetry long before George V named him laureate in 1930 (in preference to his chief rival, Rudyard Kipling).

...hear now but its remarkable & I'd look him up right away." Fitzgerald's letter was filed away at Charles Scribner's Sons in Manhattan, along with the publishing house's correspondence with hundreds of other authors, including George Santayana, Edith Wharton, Rudyard Kipling and that bright young man Hemingway.

Shimmering Dust. The major theater of war is the broad Punjab plain, which stretches flat from horizon to horizon. It is lushly green, dotted with clumps of trees, laced by canals. The days are swelteringly hot, and dust clouds shimmer in the glaring sun. It is Rudyard Kipling country, immortalized in such books as Kim and Indian Tales. And the soldiers on both sides are very like the men Kipling so deeply revered. The officers are British-trained, and many are graduates of Sandhurst. They have the British manner, right down to clipped accents, mustaches and swagger sticks. The enlisted...
