...effort: "In depicting the Four Freedoms, Miss Willoughby has created several modifications of the original theme as developed by Norman Rockwell [TIME, June 21]. . . . Freedom of Speech . . . will show separate scenes. . . . Freedom from Want has been designated for the west panel. Here is portrayed Cornucopia pouring out its bounteous contents. . . . The fourth panel . . . will delineate Freedom from Fear. The ever-protecting element of mother love will be indicated by a mother holding her child in her arms. The carefree yet rhythmic motions of the nature dancer complete the theme for this panel...
...situation was doubly shameful because no one could treat the food problem as a disastrous Act of God. The harvest year 1942 was the most bounteous since the Pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock.

The Soviet Union has a new Stalin Constitution and under it the deputies going to Moscow had been elected for the first time directly by all the voters whom they represent (TIME...

Paul was an expert and talkative guide and his wife cooked such bounteous dinners of venison, flapjacks and trout that the lodge grew into an immense rambling structure with 216 rooms. It had such guests as Phineas Taylor Barnum, Mark Twain, Grover Cleveland, Edward H. Harriman. When Paul Smith, an alert, erect oldster of 87 with snowy hair, a Vandyke beard and broad-brimmed hat, died in 1912 he left his three sons the largest...
