...first taste of the Fair's keynote- Action. Here the sciences will be demonstrated not by dull charts and lectures, but by experiments actually performed. The layman will see how chemistry transmutes coal, wood, oil, rubber, minerals into paints, dyes, soaps, explosives, paper, food. He will see laid bare the basic mysteries not only of his radio, telephone, refrigerator, automobile but even his own body, in models with beating heart, breathing lungs, circulating blood. A huge steel robot, ten feet high, will point to foods on a table and lecture metallically on food chemistry and nutrition, tracing the foods...
Late in March Rivera squared off at his bare white wall in the RCA lobby. Tickets were issued to watch him do his daily stint. Art students, businessmen and Communists bought tickets as Rivera slowly spread paint down over the wall in a characteristic composition made up of huge, chunky units. Rockefeller Center workmen came free. Painting directly on wet plaster as in all true fresco, Rivera put on the wall the essentials of his submitted and approved sketches.

...Mendelssohn Glee Club so well that Conductor Leopold Stokowski frequently engages it to sing difficult choral works with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Like blond-mopped Stokowski, Bruce Carey conducted last week without a baton, bringing out the Mass's mighty effects with direct, compelling gestures of his two bare hands.

Inside the bare parched skull "a tempest was raging." Finally, "the voice became insistent and said, 'Why don't you do it?' I resisted but in vain.'' Last week on Harijan (Untouchables' Day) Gandhi announced what "it" was: a three-week fast to force all India's temples...
...nation went into mourning for three days. Five-foot flat and mostly Indian, a pocket wildcat of a man, President Sanchez Cerro was wounded in five places and lost three fingers of his left hand when he seized the spitting muzzle of a machine gun in his bare hands and turned it on the Government forces in overthrowing President Billinghurst in 1914. In 1921 they shot him full of holes again when he captured Lima in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow President Leguia. In semi-exile abroad he served with the Spanish Foreign Legion in Morocco, was wounded; served with...
