Reincarnation

When Dr. Henry Seidel Canby resigned from the editorship of the Literary Review of The New York Evening Post (TIME, May 19), The Nation, pinko-political review in Manhattan, was endowed with a bit of clairvoyance. It declared: "In these days of unprecedented interest in good literature, it is hard to believe that he can remain without a medium. Even if under another name the urbane spirit of the Literary Review must surely live on."

Last week Dr. Canby announced that he had formed a new and independent publication soon to appear under the name of the Saturday Review of Literature. He described it as a "familiar publication in a new dress and with a new name."
