...Senate's oratorical display was not enough to keep the galleries from emptying. After Idaho's Borah and Nevada's Pittman had fired the opening rockets against and for repeal of the arms embargo, the rest of the show was anticlimactic. Two days later bulbous Tom Connally of Texas, his wavy grey locks disheveled, roared for repeal for two hours and 45 minutes. For two hours and three minutes Michigan's Vandenberg played hard for his stake in 1940 (TIME...
Common denominator of U. S. ceramists is whimsy. Sculpture at the show ranged from Viktor Schreckengost's Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, three haloed Negroes smiling down at the flames, to Sascha Brastoff's boneless, bulbous, button-mouthed females, Emergence and Timid Maiden (see cut), who look like a pair of praying mantises.

Like a great prehistoric alligator the City of Chicago suns its giant body along 35 mi. of Lake Michigan's western shore. From the city's fanlike tail to the south, from its huge bulbous head to the north and from many a populous suburb is pumped centreward a seldom ceasing stream of traffic, most of which flows into Chicago's chief north & south artery, Michigan Avenue. In the heart of the city the stream congests & clots, to the extreme unhappiness of all motoring Chicagoans...
