Flying Squads. Last week some 300 union sympathizers, carrying signs in Spanish, BRACERO, PIDE TU LIBERTAD, staged a sitdown demonstration in front of one bracero camp to prevent the workers from going to the fields. At another camp, 38 pickets beat up the camp cook and two braceros with broom handles, threatened to set fire to the camp. The melee was broken up by a flying squad from the sheriff's office, which later stormed into a meeting at union headquarters and arrested six union leaders. Armed with shotguns and pistols, growers prowled their fields on the lookout...
...carpet Vic Tanny gyms scattered across the U.S., signed them up to membership contracts of six months (typical East Coast price: $185) to "permanent" (seven years: $360) on the pay-as-you-perspire plan. Last week in Chicago, Tanny's muscular sell was sporting several Charley horses. In Cook County circuit court a blind man asked for an injunction to release him from a $385 Tanny membership contract, claiming he went to Tanny's for a job, was told by a Tanny salesman that he had to sign a free membership application first. In suburban La Grange...
...Pastry Cook's Path. One name boldly signed to the Splendid Century is Le Nain. It belonged to three famous brothers of Laon, who, confusingly, often worked together on the same canvas and rarely signed their first names to anything. But scholars have gone far in separating the three. Antoine, according to contemporary accounts, "excelled in miniatures and portraits in small." The peasant paintings of Louis, the most talented of the three, were a happy blend of Dutch naturalism and Roman classicism. Mathieu, the most successful, became master painter to the city of Paris, assumed the title of Seigneur...
...Nain contemporary, the onetime pastry cook Claude Lorrain, was a classicist, but he followed a far different path than Poussin took. He was less interested in ideas or subject matter than in the wonders that nature poured out all around him. He was the first Frenchman to paint similar scenes at different times of day, the first to record the fickle moods of light. His Seaport is as well ordered as a classical painting should be, but there is a quiet sadness about the yellow daylight and a heavy loneliness about the dancing...
...Keyses' French provincial home on the shore of Lake Owasso in the St. Paul suburb of Shoreview, dinner is a neatly scripted ritual, played to soft Brahms and candlelight, that often lasts for two hours. At first, recalls Keys, Margaret was not much of a cook: "She fed me - but she was pretty inexperienced." She learned; the walls of kitchen and den are lined with 254 cookbooks, not counting copies of Eat Well and Stay Well, for which Mrs. Keys supplied 200 tasty recipes. The Keyses do not eat "carving meat" - steaks, chops, roasts - more than three times...
