...reader who recently spent 2½ years working with the Europeans and Africans of Nyasaland and Rhodesia, may I protest the one-sided view of the troubles in Central and East Africa presented by TIME? First let us recognize that there is very little resemblance between the primitive African and the Negro in the U.S. and West Indies. The latter are civilized and educated people, having lived the Western way of life for five or six generations. The African, an extremely likable and excitable person, still thinks and lives in a world of his own, and cannot catch...
...behind them ruins of Roman art. But the Goths themselves, even while deriving from the Romans, gave their name to an art form that took its own place in the cultural current. Henry Moore draws from this past, as from the past of the savage idol carvers of Africa, Central America and the South Seas. But he has also moved beyond the past, and in so doing he is the representative of a group of brilliant moderns who have led the way to the greatest resurgence of sculpture since the Renaissance-see ART COVER, Maker of Images...

Five minutes later dynamite thrown through a ground-floor window partially wrecked the Little Rock school district...
...fourth quarter (against a 1957 peak rate of $38 billion and a 1958 slump low of $30 billion); many crystal-bailers see a pace close to $40 billion in 1960. "Here's what will happen next," says Vice President Russell H. Metzner of Cleveland's Central National Bank. "The cost of living will rise. Hard goods will be immediately affected because a bigger share of consumer spending will go to the cost-of-living items [mostly soft goods]. And then we will have a drastic reduction in inventories and capital expenditures. I expect to see the downturn...
