Captioned "Yes, Dear!", the picture on the inside cover of Pageant's December issue showed Union Boss John L. Lewis on the telephone, apparently speaking to his wife. Said the cut lines: "Mr. Lewis has a wife. So have a handful of other such overpowering gentlemen you'd never suspect of matrimony. You can meet the Mrs. in this issue." Sure enough, included in Pageant's two-page gallery of "wives of famous men" was a portrait of Mrs. John L. Lewis. What Pageant had forgotten was that Mrs. Lewis died on Sept...

A master draftsman, Pascin employed the sfumato (blurring of lines) dear to Da Vinci. His models were not so much outlined as enmeshed in delicate, shifting parentheses. Being no great shakes as a colorist, he avoided strong hues, tinted his figures with light dabs of pearly paint. No other artist, except Lautrec, ever mixed sweetness and sordidness more successfully. What kept Pascin out of Lautrec's league was that he had no bite; his paintings were pale...
