...were covered with moody, swirling blobs of color, as otherworldly as their titles (Strata No. 1, Tones of Silence, Pad '55). Only here and there does an oldtimer hold out. Ben Shahn in Second Super Market makes a tasteful composition out of wire grocery carts; the '303 echo in Philip Evergood's Quick Lunch, a ham-handed working man swigging a soft drink; Morris Graves's Bird is deftly caught on thin rice paper with a Chinese economy of line. But they are small islands of representation in a swirl of abstraction. Emphasizing the trend...
...home, "Russia Re-Viewed" (TIME, Oct. 4); for local reporting where deadline pressure was not a factor, Roland Kenneth Towery of the Cuero (Texas) Record, for his series on Texas land scandals (TIME, March 7); for local reporting under deadline pressure, Mrs. Caro Brown of the Alice (Texas) Daily Echo, for a series on one-man political rule in the state's Duval County (TIME, Feb. 15, 1954); for editorial writing, the Detroit's Free Press's Royce Howes, for an editorial on the responsibility of labor and management in an unauthorized U.A.W. strike against Chrysler...

Lehman Hall now almost obscures a small, grey tombstone, marking the site of the old meeting house, and the rattle of the subway drowns any echo of the days when Puritan preachers poured out fire and brimstone in the Square...
...Glee Club entered in 1951 to find that the chapel, now but one large room, was so bare and lofty that a note would echo between its three-foot walls for seven seconds. A recent demonstration of this phenomenon lasted only four seconds. However, the tenor explained that the furniture and tapestries were the cause of the failure, not his voice. The group now has its business office there. Typewriters and an occasional alumni sing resound in the room which once rang with cannons and court-martial, songs and firebells, actors and legislators, explosions and saws. Such noises would have...
