...Brattle offers an outstanding short on art, entitled The Experience of Cubism. An Italian production, the film provides some real analysis of technique in addition to the usual minute reproduction of canvasses.

After a flurry of transcontinental phone calls, President Eisenhower issued a steadying statement: "I have never found him [Wilson] in the slightest degree indifferent to human misfortune . . . In spite of record peacetime employment, there are areas suffering from economic dislocations as the aftermath of war and inflation. Every one of these is engaging the earnest and persistent efforts of the Administration...
