...Arthur Dove used needlepoint, some old shingles, and a page from the Concordance to evoke the essence of Grandmother, just as Edith Schloss uses worn and faded materials for her nostalgic Dow Road and Stephan Durkee for his affecting Sale. The futurists' obsession with the automobile finds its echo in the car constructions of John Chamberlain. A painted Breakfast by Juan Gris plays parent to an assembled breakfast by Daniel Spoerri...
...early '80's were hard years financially for the young paper, and matters were not helped by the existence of other struggling journals. In addition to the Advocate, which by 1879 was a weekly like the CRIMSON, the first Harvard daily appeared in that year. The Echo was a rather inept production, and Mother Advocate summed that matter up when it stated: "It is hard to say which has been most acceptable to the Echo's readers, the vulgarity of its first year, in insipidity of its second, or the negligence of its third...
...Since then Walter Ulbricht has ruled his people with deft application of both the carrot and the stick, always careful to keep in step with the word from Moscow.

He cannot match Pound in the sheer demonic influence of his imagination, or Thomas...
Before the war, Sol Nazerman had been an instructor at the University of Cracow; the Nazis packed him off to Belsen and Dachau, where his wife and daughter were murdered. Surviving somehow, Sol escaped to the U.S. and prosperity; but at 45 he is a grey echo of a man. By day he shuffles about the dusty hock shop that he manages for a tax-wise hoodlum: by night, at the home he shares with his sister's family, he listens stolidly to the family's spoiled and petulant quarrels. On Sundays, he sits in the backyard, reading...
