Wehle, set out among the art galleries to select a half-dozen U. S. painters. They must be i) not too advanced for the Board of Trustees' cautious taste, 2) advanced enough to disarm newspaper accusations of over-caution, 3) sponsored by the right art dealers.

In a sketch of Henry Ford, Author Pitkin disclaims ambition to write the Ford biography-"the job would be too dull for us." Walt Whitman he calls a caution, but is forced to admit, "Not until introverts no longer read and write shall we be rid of the Steer that lived on Leaves of Grass."
