Reminder of a Reminder. Florida's indifference comes partly from the letdown after the tumultuous gubernatorial campaign that ended in sweeping victory for Incumbent LeRoy Collins. Even more, it can be traced to the fact that Floridians, basking in the warmth of their economic boom, seem in no mood for a change: they still like Ike and tend to see the Democratic nominee, whoever he may be, as an inevitable also...
...GERMANY'S DELAY IN MILITARY CONTRIBUTIONS (gently but firmly): "Perhaps the fact is overlooked in the U.S. and other countries that in spite of the economic boom in the Federal Republic there are still millions of Germans who lack the basic requirements for normal existence. The aged pensioners with their dependents number 16 million, and there are the war wounded and the expellees [from the East]. These are heavy burdens which no other country has to bear.

In the Brooklyn Museum another jury winnowed out 109 works for display from the 1 ,000 entries in the tenth National Print Annual, also put on view 85 prizewinners of the past ten years. Both shows highlight another big factor in the current print boom: because artists can run off several copies from a single plate, prices ($10 to $100) are about one-tenth the price of a painting by the same artist...
