WITH THE KIWIS
BROADCASTING WITH THE KIWIS. Bv Winston McCarthy. Sporting Publications, Wellington, through A. H. and A. W. Reed. \WVHEN Winston McCarthy was asked to write the story of the Kiwi matches in Britain he protested that he was a broadcaster and not a writer, He was then asked to write as he would broadcast and (the publishers say) agreed.

He has been too wise for that. He writes colloquially, ‘even conyersationally, but | it is direct writing, conventional, short FRE oe ST ee
sentences Dut propelly 401MM, ve" statement of fact or a question, and the result, if not as exciting as his broadcasts, is completely satisfying. It is a pity the publishers did not take a bigger risk with the paper, printing, and binding, which are all unworthy of the excel. lent matter. @
