Subtle, processional monumentality, raved admirers. Instant Stonehenge, snapped critics of the proposed Franklin D. Roosevelt monument, eight huge slabs in a cluster, engraved with passages from F.D.R.'s speeches. Washington's Fine Arts Commission, which took the anti-druidic view in 1962, has now finally approved the design after some changes were made, including the addition of an 18-foot-tall statue of the President. But the memorial still didn't pass the last roundup. At a Hyde Park meeting, Anna Roosevelt Halstead, 58, James, 56, Elliott, 53, John, 48, and Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., 49, unanimously...
Kong Le was on his way to inspect one of his outposts at the edge of the Plain.

Even beforehand, Peeping Toms began to swarm and cluster around the Broadway Theater because they had heard that some of the girls were rehearsing without so much as a sequin to outflash their natural splendors. But, alas, even a relatively small sequin could do just that...
...pale and wash across the screen like slow surf in the moonlight; yet here and there in the watery depths, a point of richer color burns for an instant like a brilliant fish. Early in the film he engineers a spectacular ballet of electrons; later he pictures a cluster of great galaxies that lie asleep in space like a nest of glimmering, immeasurable crabs...
