It was the height of the Cold War, and leading off is a discussion of the nuclear arms race ("Or Bomb and Theirs"). Literature continued, and we see that tow well-respected poets contributed poems (Stevie Smith and Hayden Carruth); other pieces of literary creation, including literary criticism, are included. Erskine B. Childers writes on the "Impasse in the Holy Land" which seems to mirror the impasse the world is still witnessing. It's a fascinating issue. ************************************* TITLE : Encounter / ISSUE : Volume XL, Number 1 (# 58) / DATE : July 1958 / AUTHORS : Erskine Childers, Hayden Carruth, Stevie Smith, et al / EDITORS : Stephen Spender and Irving Kristol / PLACE : London / DETAILS : Monthly periodical; 96 pages; 7 1/8" x 10", printed wraps, glued. *********************************** CONTENTS :: Our Bomb and Theirs : The Nuclear Obsession - by R.
