Wisdom & Poison. Nudging these working newsmen for space were big-name specialists, with varying claims to international wisdom: Westbrook Pegler, George Fielding Eliot, Ludwig Bemelmans, Drew Pearson, Ely Culbertson, Orson Welles. Mixed in were avowed propagandists, ranging from Edgar Ansel Mowrer (who was pleased to call the conference "the most important human gathering since the Last Supper") to the New York Daily News's poison penman John O'Donnell. Even before the conference opened, O'Donnell said that "nothing ever was staged in this generation on such a scale of mass hypocrisy and global double cross...
...York Post thinks so much of columnists that it runs 15 of them. All of them fit comfortably into the Post's political frame: New Dealism. Even so, the Post last week found the opinions of two of its top columnists, Dorothy Thompson and Edgar Ansel Mowrer, more than it could bear.

...loudest, most pained outbursts came from the President's own most ardent supporters. Those who had campaigned vigorously for Term IV on the basis of Roosevelt's foreign policy were suddenly ready to concede his fallibility. Cried the New Dealing New York Post's Edgar Ansel Mowrer: "Mr. Roosevelt's expediencies and compromises, his postponements of questions and evasions of issues are coming home to plague him from a dozen places-Britain, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, etc. Yet still unrepentantly he wisecracks, he postures, he ducks, he does everything but come clean and tell...
...photogenetic first floor, which reviewed the camera's art from the days of Civil War Photographer Mathew Brady's menacing portrait of a Victorian lady (Miss Edwards in Front of Indian Rock, Lookout Mt.) to Ansel Adams' magical Moonrise, New Mexico, Edward Weston's claims to be the Ingres of modern photography, and Walker Evans' deceptively simple-seeming studies of Main Street...
