...Nixon's Washington are held in higher esteem as masters of governmental management than is Elliot Lee Richardson, 52, the next Secretary of Defense-even though almost no one can adequately explain just why. The public Richardson is stuffily Bostonian, serenely confident, vaguely remote. His set speeches are bloodless and dull. His ad-lib language is so convoluted, yet grammatically correct, that one questioner at a Senate committee hearing jokingly confessed that he could not quite tell from a Richardson answer whether he was for, or against, drug abuse. Moreover, Richardson has been appointed to so many high posts...
...composer who believed that music should be dramatic and expressive. So, fortunately, do Fournier and Schnabel, in this historic collaboration dating from 1948, now issued in its entirety for the first time on an American LP. It is hereby recommended as an antidote for today's "cool" and bloodless school of Beethoven interpretation...
...truth, King Cariadoc is a Columbia University physicist named David Friedman, and the valiant knight who "slew" him is a male nurse from Toledo named Andrew Holly. The clash of their armies near Waterford, Pa., last weekend was brutal but bloodless.

In 1890 an Italian professor got results from a concoction of chocolate, water, sugar, casein, milk serum and salt. Even the Vatican's doubts did not daunt the Neapolitans. After San Gennaro lost his place on the church calendar, a fervent follower scrawled on the saint's altar...
...that Picasso values his subjective experience more than his work--a lesson largely ignored in the composition of the show--and in the recognition that he claims each of his works to be a phial filled with his own blood, it is also often easier to approach the rather bloodless monochromes, the complex intellectuality that produced his early Cubism. Possessing, too, a heart that bled for humanity, he turned not only to the art, but also to the politics of the avant-garde, to Communism. He painted his sympathy for the political or social underdog in shades of mournful blue...
