...diagonal of their heads and quite out of the light, hangs a painting of a wild bacchanalian rape scene. It is only when one's eyes reach this painting that the formality of the photograph begins to dissolve into sham and one notices that the seated woman's companion may not have quite so placid and unexcited an expression on his face as one first thought...
...question "the harsh, raw severity of Le Corbusier jars a world conditioned for softer, more comfortable art forms." I think you should have been far more specific.

A dozen magazines, among them Collier's, American Magazine, Coronet and Woman's Home Companion, have folded in the past seven years. Last month the Saturday Evening Post, which used to receive 100,000 unsolicited manuscripts a year, announced that henceforth all of them would be sent back unopened.
