Dulles, giving Molotov no chance to blame the West for a failure at Geneva, chose to emphasize the points of seeming agreement ("a quite remarkable degree of parallel thinking"). "There is before us a realizable vision of security in Europe . . . provided-and of course this proviso is of the utmost importance-we can make similar progress with respect to the unification of Germany," Dulles declared. Molotov was forced to a "fallback position" that free elections would deprive East Germany's loyal citizens of the joys of Communism...
...Teach the Child." Author Dunn agrees that poverty, broken homes and indifferent parents must share the blame for the plight of the bad big-city school. But after four years, she also decided that the modern educational theories with which she had been in sympathy at first have been a wasteful failure. The experts talked an incessant stream of sentimental nonsense ("We don't teach the subject. We teach the child").

Other partisans of U.S. art muttered that Carnegie Director Gordon Washburn himself was to blame for the poor U.S. showing, that he had ignored some of the most promising young U.S. painters. But the most baffled reaction of all came from gallerygoers who were left frankly bewildered by the preponderantly abstract show. Last week Director Washburn tried to set at least the gallerygoers straight. Said...
