...would have done the same thing if I had his courage," John D. Montgomery, chairman of the Government Department, said yesterday. Questions of faculty tenure should not be decided by the courts, Montgomery added, but could be dealt with better within the university...
...same reasons, his great city paintings like Nighthawks, 1942, are by now as solid a fixture of the American imagination as the novels of Raymond Chandler. Hopper's European contemporaries, especially in Weimar, Germany, had also dealt with this theme: the city as condenser of loneliness. But none of them did it with the same etiquette of feeling.

With such lapidary works as Flowering Judas, The Jilting of Granny Weatherall and Pale Horse, Pale Rider, the Texas-born Porter reigned in the 1930s and '40s as the undisputed queen of the short story. But popular and financial success did not come until the publication in 1962 of her only full-length novel, Ship of Fools, which received mixed reviews but became...
