Special ArticLe by HENDRIK WILLEM VAN LOON -- The Not So Good Old Days -- Mr. Van Loon reminds us that
there were troubles in the old days too. He cites especially that eventful period in history when three Popes
struggled for the same job. [With Illustration.]
ANTONINA VALLENTIN -- Leonardo da Vinci -- Leonardo's most extraordinary mind combined an amazing talent
for beauty, mathematics, invention, astronomy, medicine, and military strategy. Here is a superb word-portrait
befitting this astonishing man.
ODON VON HORVATH -- The Age of the Fish -- A strange lad, product of the soullessness of a totalitarian régime,
tries love, introspection, jealousy, hate--even tries confession to murder, as if they were cold scientific
experimentation. Stefan Zweig calls author Von Horvath "the most gifted writer of the younger generation.".
HANSON BALDWIN -- Admiral Death -- Twelve robust tales of the sea, including the Titanic disaster, the loss of
the Medusa, and the Battle of Jutland. A naval newspaper man does some straight reporting to provide a
hundred breath-taking thrills.
KATHARINE CORNELL -- I Wanted To Be an Actress -- The first time Katharine Cornell remembers acting was
when she entertained her relatives during her kindergarten days. Her auto- biography explains in an intimate and
stirring fashion how she grew up to be the first lady of the American theater.
HERBERT KRAUSE -- Wind Without Rain -- Romance and tragedy, beauty and despair mark the pages of this tale
of life and death on a prairie farm. Little wonder it won the $1,000 prize for the year's best novel of the Middle
West.
