...urgency of diplomatic cables and phone calls. Through the lobby on the way to the President's office hustled so many VIPs-Vice President Nixon, Acting Secretary of State Herbert Hoover Jr., CIA Director Allen Dulles, Defense Mobilizer Arthur Flemming, Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Arthur Radford, et al. -that White House reporters lost count. Out from Atlantic ports steamed a carrier task force headed by the 60,000-ton Forrestal, while in San Diego seamen worked all night beneath glaring floodlights to get Wasp and Philippine Sea loaded...
...public mind since 1948-and as deeply burning to the "scientific" pollsters and to newsmen-was the much-printed picture of beaming, victorious Harry Truman holding up a copy of the Chicago Tribune headlined DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN.

In the politics-ridden art world of Mexico, Tamayo's latest success inevitably brought a renewed plea that he lead a new Mexican art movement against the prevailing Communist and leftist painters-Siqueiros, Rivera, et al. But Rufino Tamayo does not want to create a new kind of orthodoxy. He is convinced that the leftists, by pretending "that Mexican painting must follow one specific, rigid line, have put Mexican art back many years."
