The Coming of Age review by Anatole Broyard
This New York Times critique assigns the Beauvoir work a bleak tone and a biased thesis. It portrays the translator as adept but notes an abrasive pessimism and existential framework. It argues aging is depicted through depressing examples across historical and present societies.

Review of Beauvoir on Aged Treatment and Retirement
The critique of capitalist society shows the aged valued for wealth and status while the underprivileged risk neglect or exclusion. Happiness is questioned, and retirement emptiness is addressed by pursuing concrete work to stave off meaninglessness. The passage weighing privilege, humanity, and practical purpose frames retirement as a life-long, labor-filled search for significance.

Verse on Roget’s Thesaurus Fly Leaf in Felts Column
In a sweep of tangential reminiscences and literary notes columnist David Felts covers Hedy Lamarr libel claims over her memoir Ecstasy and Me, a Roget’s Thesaurus verse, Big Foot’s name in Wisconsin lore, and memories of Fr Jimmy McShane. The piece wanders through 19th century tribes, Vietnam amnesty chatter, and a note on male deer growing antlers annually.
