CHICAGO'S OAK STREET BEACH LIFEGUARDS DO NOT WEAR SHOCKING-PINK TRUNKS [TIME, JULY 26] . . . GUARDS ARE WEARING SWIM SUITS OF GANTROM, A LUMINESCENT, HIGH VISIBILITY FABRIC THAT CAN BE SEEN FOR TWO MILES. FOR YOUR INFORMATION COLOR IS NEON...
...Republic took another hitch in it's belt last week, the second in six months. It lopped off eight staffers (leaving 53), planned to cut down the little color it now uses, and the number of staff-written articles. Gone, with ex-Editor Henry Wallace, was the dream of a big, expensive-looking magazine for 330, 000. Circulation, which reached a high of 96,411 last January when Wallace announced his presidential candidacy, was down to 80,000 and would probably slide lower.

...horrifying portrait of an adolescent Catholic named Pinkie, who was headed straight for damnation, and dimly, desperately knew it. In The Heart of the Matter he draws a man who is threatened with the same damnation, and sees it-apparently-much more clearly.

The Association, with 25% of its costs...
...Colored Thoughts. During World War II, which De la Mare described characteristically as "the extremest crisis man has ever seen (except a few)," the poet lived quietly, delighted with visits from his grandchildren (he has ten). To his young visitors the old man with his dark massive head like that of a Roman emperor, would sometimes put one of his odd, sharp questions: "What do you think is the color of your thoughts?" He has had nothing to say about the new honors given him, or the reawakening admiration for his work. As for the hardbought value of civilization...
