The Autobiography of Bertrand RussWl: Atlantic-Littl- e Brown; 418 pp.; 1911-191-4, $8.95. B ERTRAND Russell's life In the United States between 1938 and 1944 was full of trouble and harassment. But while it is possible the experience may have influenced his attitude toward this country, the account given in this book, the second volume of his autobiography Is marked chiefly by the wit for which he is noted. When he first arrived at the University of Chicago, he intended to lecture on Words and Facts, but learned that wouldnt do at all. I was told," he writes, that Americans would not respect my lectures if I used monosyllables, oo I altered the title to something lie The Correlation Between Oral and SoThe seminar was matic Motor Habits. approved and Russell enjoyed his work though he didnt like Chicago. his History of Western Philosophy." None the philosophers of whom he wrote was his superior In serenity of mind. It cannot be denied, however, that Russell created many of his own difficulties. He was combative as well as serene and, like Socrates, insisted on having the last word. A man who knows he is right arouses antagonism. When he Is right at the wrong time or in the wrong place, or when, as sometimes hapof pens, his cause is both unpopular and wrong, the deadly antagonism brings ostracism and But Russell never lacked punishment. friends and followers. Denounced As A Radical Russell has been denounced as a radical, a word whose meaning depends on the users viewpoint Yet those who denounced him in one context might well agree in another. Of a trip to Russia in the early 1920s, he writes, Cruelty, poverty, suspicion, persecution In the formed the very air we breathed middle of the night one would hear shots and Did Work Badly know that idealists were being killed in prison On one occasion in Petrograd (as it Then he transferred to the University of California where he loved the climate but was called) four scarecrows came to see me, dressed in rags, with a fortnights beard, filnot the academic atmosphere.

(I Sins Shows Ancient Barbaric Scene the early years of Christianity, set against the brilliant, barbaric panorama of the ancient Middle Eastern world, Engrossing Tale The Sins of Herod, by Frank G. Slaughter; Doubleday & Co., 370 pp; $5.95. The Pathway of Faith Series by the author, which Constantine and includes Gods Warrior, is designed to tell the great stories and describe the major figures of our heritage, and present crucial and sometimes little known episodes and personalities of the Old and the early Testament Christian era. The Sins of Herod, third volume in the series, is a novel of the crucifixion and Judeo-Christia- n The story is told from the 'point of view of Prochorus, who is a freeborn Roman citizen of Judea, and the central character in this engrossing tale. His world is ruled by the violence and intrigues of ruthless men like Herod Airtipas and Agrippa, son and grandson of Herod the Great, respectively, and the mad Emperor Caligula; while other men like Simon Peter, John, t and James, are preaching the gospel of Christianity. Ultimate Choice In a time of contrast and conflict in mens souls, Prochorus finds he must ultimately choose between the temporal rewards of serving Rome and spiritual salvation. In telling the story of this man, his life, his love for a woman, and his confrontation with Christianity, Frank Slaughter has vividly recreated the historical and cultural background of one of historys most stirring epochs. In these stories of the ancient world, we are constantly amazed by the remarkable frequency with which fact is indeed stranger than fiction, but never more than in the history of Agrippa I, last of the kings of Israel. The dramatic closing everts of this novel were first described in detail by Josephus, the great Jewish historian almost nineteen hundred years ago. A slightly different version of Agrippas death from that of Josephus is given by St. Luke in the Acts of the Apostles. The Sins of Herod combines the deft touch of the master storyteller with the wisdom of the scholar in the unique style which has gained Dr. Slaughter wide acclaim. Tania Karol.
