...Grover Whalen, resplendent in a flowing stock, received them at his Fair, where they were tootled around in a trackless motor train. Their own Empire's exhibits, including a copy of the Magna Charta, were their chief stops, being formal reasons for their U. S. visit. Artist Frank E. Beresford was on hand with sketch pad to record the event. Columbia University got a crack at them on their way to Hyde Park: Dr. Nicholas Murray ("Miraculous") Butler received them at the foot of the library steps, showed them the King's College charter issued by George...
...grown grey in philanthropy and the copper business before he fell for his first nonobjective painting about eleven years ago. Since then he has accumulated 726 of them, the world's biggest private collection. His guide and friend in non-objectivity has been a fortyish, fervent lady artist, the Baroness Hilla Rebay von Ehrenwiesen...
...pleasant surprise was the Cuban section. Its 40 items included the tenderest painting in the exhibition, a picture of three lost-looking children done in white, grey and sepia by a young artist named Fidelio Ponce de Leon,* and the most effective sculpture, a torqued Figure (see cut, p. 36) by handsome, 27-year-old Rita Longa.

Into M. H.'s Manhattan and Boston offices (Policyholders' Advisory Council) last year ventured some 40,000 persons with real or fancied insurance problems. Each of them paid $1 for the interview. Some 8,000 became...
...coal strike (resembling that of Harlan County in 1931). When two deputies are shot, mass arrests hit both the Red union and its rival. Glenn, who is nearly killed by vigilantes, urges a united-front defense. But Comrade Silverstone, of Manhattan, sneers: "There's too much of the artist in you, Sandy." Silverstone says they will take care of their own comrades, let the others, who are "politically undeveloped," take care of themselves. Their own comrades get 20 years, are shot trying to escape. Few days later the Party changes its line, decides on a united-front policy...
