...last year's show, New York carried off most of the honors, this time with a soft-textured nude by George Grosz, a characteristic frozen-faced, deep green Landscape with Fisherman by Doris Lee, Isaac Soyer's indulgent School Girls and Robert Philipp's Dust to Dust, which won honorable mention at the Carnegie International last autumn (TIME, Oct. 25), showing bowed, blackrobed, firmly painted figures before an open grave, against a dull rainscape. There was no outstanding piece of sculpture like Carl Hallsthammar's Venus in Red Cherry of last year, but the exhibition introduced...
...kind is a smaller but more articulate group of "Jews in America"-Jews who have not only a common religion but a common culture; who believe they are members of a scattered nation; who tend to approve Zionist aims toward a Jewish homeland. Between these two groups there is deep-rooted animosity. Last week, as has happened before, that animosity came out in the open...

A hundred years ago every boy studied Greek and Latin, today most still study Latin, about half Greek. But now all boys must take mathematics, science, French and history. A revolutionary development in this 500-year-old classical school is the popularity of its new workshops, where about 100 of Eton's 1,150 young aristocrats, in their spare time, use lathes...
