...selection, called "New Horizons in American Art," elevated many a New Yorker's indifferent eyebrows (TIME, Sept. 21, 1936).

Last week Chicago's great Art Institute, able to skim the cream from more than three years' work by local artists, opened the biggest, handsomest WPA show yet held...
...invisible smallness of the atom are remote from the things of everyday life. Scientists also go far from familiar things in the study of low temperatures. Hydrogen liquefies at 252.7° below zero Centigrade and helium liquefies at - 268.9°. Compared to such temperatures, the inside of an ice-cream freezer is a seething furnace.

...doughty Mr. Buck could not bring around the roustabouts. They preferred to believe A. F. A.'s Executive Secretary Ralph Whitehead. who declared that Mr. North, having lapped the cream from the big cities, used the pay issue as an excuse to get off the road. The A. F. A. also charged that Mr. North was trying to get out from under a fiveyear, closed-shop contract which A. F. A. signed last year with the bankers with whom his ancestral tents were then in pawn. Mr. North retorted that Mr. Whitehead had stubbornly declined to face depression facts...
