Portraits often mirror the artist as much as their subjects. On the walls of the Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield, Mass., last week, hung a collection of portraits that were animated with gentle strength of character, aglow with love of children. They depicted many famous men-Philosopher William James, Pablo Casals, Richard Harding Davis, Robert E. Sherwood (as a small boy). But what they described with even greater certainty was their creator, Ellen Emmet Rand, who plainly painted with malice toward none...
...Aglow with "the phosphorescence of sexuality." Cathy keeps streaking over the horizon of this novel like a flying saucer pursued by satyrs. And yet no one could call The End of an Old Song a sexy or sordid story.

They would get jobs, send money to their hungry families (Merlino had eight children, Faticati four) and come home in two years with a brimful crock of gold...

The glare of twelve big lights, ranging from 750-watt "spots" to 1,000-watt "broads," beat brightly down on President Eisenhower, sitting behind a small desk, with his face and bald head aglow with pancake makeup. His big "cue cards," which had been brought in only after news photographers had been shooed out of the room, were ready before him. On his right sat Attorney General Herbert Brownell, on his left, Agriculture Secretary Ezra Benson, Treasury Secretary George Humphrey and Welfare Secretary Oveta Gulp...
