Born on May 11, 1912 in London, England into an affluent politically conservative Jewish family, he was educated in the United States, where he attended Phillips Exeter Academy and Dartmouth College. He graduated Dartmouth Class Poet in 1932 and, after marrying in 1934, moved to California, where he became executive secretary of the American Council Against Nazi Propaganda. A writer of singular versatility, Kahn had earned a celebrated international reputation for his political exposés prior to his widely acclaimed work on Galina Ulanova. His book Sabotage!, dealing with Fascist conspiratorial activities, was one of the top best-sellers of the Second World War; and his subsequent books on secret diplomacy and the Cold War era were translated into more than twenty languages. Permanent collections of his photographic studies of Ulanova and Casals are housed at the Library and Museum of the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Art; and the Dartmouth College Library. Kahn died on September 15, 1979, aged 67. ARNOLD L. HASKELL (1903-1980) was a British dance critic who founded the Camargo Society in 1930. He was influential in the development of the Royal Ballet School, later becoming the school’s headmaster. He went to Australia in 1936 with the visiting Monte Carlo Russian Ballet as a publicist/reporter, writing articles and reviews for several Australian newspapers and journals. He returned to Australia in 1938 to gather material for Waltzing Matilda: A Background to Australia (1943) and continued writing articles and reviews for Australian newspapers and magazines. In 1974, Haskell was awarded an Honorary Degree (Doctor of Letters) by the University of Bath.view less
