Would it not be a gracious thing for the President to do-a beautiful custom to originate-that the President resign a few weeks or months before the end of his term of office (say, on Christmas or New Year's day or even on Thanksgiving) so as to permit the Vice President to become President of the United States for the interim until January 20-when the newly-elected President would take office under Amendment XX to the Constitution...
...Congress began discussion of that specific legal harness for the President which is called the Neutrality Act: whether to extend, revise, or scrap it (see p. 18).

In such fashion, as one college catalogue once stated, "the student learns to recognize the old masters upon sight." To be on speaking terms...
...wrote, "a new concept of social loyalty and responsibility, of the artist's union with his fellow men in origin and destiny, seems to be replacing the romantic concept of nature which for so many years gave to artists and to many others a unifying approach to art . . . an end seems to be in sight to the kind of detachment which removed the artist from common experience, and which at its worst gave rise to an art merely for the museum, a rarified preciousness." If the layman is to meet the artist half way, we must include among the scholars...
