Growth Wanted. The week's ups and downs were the latest evidence that the greatest bull market in U.S. history has primarily been a market for blue chips. Since last January, the Dow-Jones industrial index has climbed almost steadily, from 391.89 to 461.18 at week's end. And the sharpest rise has come since the Fulbright hearings ended.

They are the work of a simple man with extraordinary command of his craft, who aimed to please and hit the bull's eye. All this does not make him a "master," for the true masters of art have been those who inspired mankind. Renoir's mission was more that of a chef who served up delicious refreshments for the eyes.
