...than an ex-President's attempt to defend his administration. That it incorporated Herbert Hoover's articulation of an intelligible theory of government, that his theory was deeply rooted in U. S. traditions, made little difference. Unlike other theoreticians and politicians who balked at this or that aspect of the New Deal, criticized methods, personalities, mistakes, costs, the ex-President made a flat issue of the New Deal's fundamental philosophy.

...once said of Cezanne that "there is no illusion of life in his work, but a plastic equivalent for it which has a life of its won."

Browder has been indicted but has not been convicted, and it is still American doctrine that a man is innocent until proved guilty. The reverse assumption is as alien to basic American concepts as the wanton attack on the participants...
...this colored pole which is no longer revolving, your eye mixes the tones for you, and it is rather difficult to distinguish between the red, the blue, and the white: this is Impressionism as far as its technique is concerned. The Impressionistic painter usually represents a momentary glimpse, one aspect of any chosen subject in this manner...
