...vast sum. All the pictures that she has since given to the Rhode Island School of Design, to Fisk University, to Dart mouth College and to the Museum of Modern Art-about 1,000 important items-probably did not cost anywhere near the $1,166,400 that Andrew Mellon paid the Soviet Government in 1934 for one Raphael Madonna (TIME, Aug. 27, 1934 et seq.)

Backed not only by his party but by thousands who had belonged to other parties or belonged to no party at all, Andrew Jackson was compelled to fight every inch for the ideals and policies of the democratic republic in which he believed. An overwhelming proportion of the material power of the country was arrayed against him. The great media for the dissemination of information and the molding of public opinion fought...
