Such were the physical events. By their implications they made the trend of Mr. Roosevelt's foreign policy clearer. Since his Christmas Eve appointment of Steelman Myron C. Taylor as his personal representative to the Vatican, the President has been extremely solicitous about U, S.-Italian relations, has regularly back-patted King Vittorio Emanuele III, and upheld the hand of Pope Pius XII for peace.

No sooner was it finished than Boston's pompous Sergei Koussevitzky rushed to give it a premiere. No sooner had Koussevitzky played it than excitable Maestro Arturo Toscanini (who conducts...
Last week it was possible to give only a preliminary introduction to the paintings of George Grosz which are being shown in the Dunster House exhibit of contemporary watercolors and lithographs. By making use of a specific example, a painting entitled "The Way Of All Flesh," perhaps a clearer and more concrete expression of the artist's method can be presented...
