...hand, the show treats such major artists as it does include quite inanely. The section dealing with abstract expressionism is feeble and disconnected. If one wanted, for instance, to demonstrate the European context of Jackson Pollock's drip-drawing, one would show the appropriate works by Masson and Ernst, not the empty doodle by Georges Mathieu that hangs next to Pollock's Number 32. The dismal efforts of French artists to turn their Dada heritage into American Pop are much in evidence. But it is one thing to dis inter the unmourned trivialities of people like Martial Raysse...
...worked with Von Braun felt that he was a genius. Alan Lovelace, acting director of NASA, described the handsome German as "a 20th century Columbus who pushed back the new frontiers of outer space with efforts that enabled his adopted country to achieve pre-eminence in space exploration." Colleague Ernst Stuhlinger considered him an excellent engineer with an almost uncanny ability to visualize both a problem and its solutions, and a brilliant leader who could transmit his enthusiasm to others. Stuhlinger's admiration is understandable. When someone asked Von Braun what it would take to build a rocket...
German Expressionism, though a "movement" that lasted only fifteen years (1905-1920) consisted of two such steps.

...would bring back their money. Result: withdrawals were so large that Crédit Suisse's branch in Chiasso was forced to turn for help to the home office in Zurich. The head office's investigation led to police involvement. Three Chiasso bankers, including Branch Manager Ernst Kuhrmeier, have been arrested on charges of criminal mismanagement...
Vigorous Counterattack. FDA officials are vigorously counterattacking by appearing before legislative committees, enlisting the support of the nation's doctors, and encouraging the Justice Department to crack down on Laetrile pushers. Among those already convicted: Medical School Dropout Ernst T. Krebs Jr. of San Francisco, who with his late father first advocated Laetrile as an anticancer drug in the U.S. Four of Krebs' associates, some of whom amassed millions of dollars, were found guilty last month of conspiring to smuggle and distribute contraband Laetrile in the U.S. They are scheduled to be sentenced in San Diego federal court...
