...England and Scotland one nation is dissolved. National Party members number an insignificant 60,000 of Scotland's 4,800,000 inhabitants, but they have doubled in strength each year since 1963. Their growing following is symptomatic of the stirrings within the realm that 19th century English Clergyman-Critic Sydney Smith dismissed contemptuously as "that garret of the earth, that knuckle-end of England, that land of Calvin, oat-cakes and sulphur." After dour decades of stagnation, the Scots are surging forward with a new spirit...
There was no rough work in the memorial. The statue, standing in front of a granite tablet in an oval plaza, even won praise from a particularly demanding critic. "I like it enormously," said Alice Roosevelt Longworth, 83, Teddy's daughter. "I think I have a rather mean disposition, but I can find nothing critical to say about it." Because the 88-acre island is out of the way compared with most tourist attractions, the memorial probably will not lure crowds of visitors-which will be just fine with the bird watchers and woods lovers who frequent...
...years Chicagoans have talked about founding a museum of modern art to complement the city's long-established Art Institute. But not until 1964, when 30 critics, collectors and dealers met at the home of Critic Doris Lane Butler, did plans get off the ground.

A Phi Beta Kappa from Vassar, whose girlhood goal was to be "intelluptuous," she got a job on Art News "because I could spell Pollaiuolo,"* rose to managing editor in 1944, a year later joined the New York Times as an art critic. While on an assignment in 1952, she interviewed and later married Finnish-born Architect Eero Saarinen (it was her second marriage). After his death eight years later, she appeared on a 1962 CBS special on Lincoln Center. An NBC producer, impressed with her knack for explaining the abstracts of architecture...
...issue of the war, the critical student sees the decision makers as isolated from the rest of society. They reason, in this way: in 1964 Johnson thought it politically expedient to run on a peace slate, so he waited until two months into 1965 before bombing the enemy. The critic sees a distortion of the traditional view of democracy in America. He wonders about the lack of bottom-to-top communication...
