Jack Levine's King Asa is a hymn to tradition and one executed with devilish skill. But can this form, as Fogg hopes, an alternative to anarchy and a cue for the future? Such prospects can only be viewed with extreme pessismism. This is the exterior, not the soul, of the old master...
...Workers strolled poolward in a natty blue-and-white beach jacket and Hollywoodish sunglasses. Sparking the livelier set, the Electrical Workers' Carey demonstrated fancy dives from handstands on the high board. A.F.L.-C.I.O. President George Meany appeared in beach regalia featuring sun hat and cigar. But taking his cue from Reuther, Meany, growling, fled from the beach when photographers swarmed around...

Last week, in New York City, a Hoffa henchman, taking his cue from the boss, boldly announced that he was ready to organize the 24,000 members of the New York police department.* Said Teamster Henry Feinstein, 53, who holds down an $8,500-a-year city job as supervisor of transportation in Manhattan: Within a fortnight he would throw pickets around...
