After announcing that he would not seek a third term as President, South Korea's aging Strongman Syngman Rhee was at last persuaded to run "only by the clamor of the Korean people." He was confident of his popularity and of the efficiency of his machine. Chipper and jaunty at 81, he spent the final days of the campaign attending the movies and pointing out dirty spots on the new floors of his pet project, Seoul's plush $5,000,000 Bando Hotel...

A prime example is The Survivors (see cut), done in 1923, in which even the clamor of children remains hushed before the unforgettable mask of grief. It was a face the Nazis could not bear to see, and they banned her works. Invited to escape to the U.S., Kollwitz chose to remain in Germany, fearful that the Nazis would persecute her family if she left. In 1943, shortly before Allied bombers destroyed...
