...pleasant surprise was the Cuban section. Its 40 items included the tenderest painting in the exhibition, a picture of three lost-looking children done in white, grey and sepia by a young artist named Fidelio Ponce de Leon,* and the most effective sculpture, a torqued Figure (see cut, p. 36) by handsome, 27-year-old Rita Longa. Significantly enough, Rita Longa is chief of the Section of Teaching and Art Appreciation in the Department of Culture under the Cuban Ministry of Education. This department was created after the overthrow of President Gerardo ("Butcher") Machado in 1933 and is regarded...
...their querulous complaints, Psychiatrist Gilbert Van Tassel Hamilton of Santa Barbara, Calif, offers the opinion that old men & women are no less troubled by sex problems than are the young. Says he: "Many persons . . . who have passed their sixtieth year vaguely feel that it is time they were done with sex as a personal issue." This makes them feel isolated, unattractive, frustrated.

And notable among these latter is the case of Professor Usher who has been characterized as "neither an economist nor, in the true sense, an historian," but rather "a collector of details--a hard working, conscientious gatherer of economic facts." Usher has done an excellent job in Ec. 133 (where I happen to have heard him) in tracing the pattern of economic development, and Mr. Bunde's failure to catch even a glimmering reflection of this pattern in the undergraduate course would indicate an aberration into adolescence on his part, quite in contrast with...
...three lucky ideas: 1) Creation of a Public Works Finance Corp. to finance self-liquidating Federal, State, municipal public works "at any rate of interest . . . necessary to get the business done." 2) To insure loans to small business, FHA style, "to put the small man who cannot finance internally on a par with large corporations." 3) To appoint a special subcommittee, reporting to Congress, on the feasibility of organizing capital credit banks to make capital available alike to government (Federal & local) and to private enterprise. "No panacea," Berle pontificated, "with these three bills we should have the elements...
