Dulles went to infinite pains to point out to the Kremlin that, even while working toward freedom for the satellites, the U.S. has only peaceful purposes. He recalled a conversation about six months ago with "one of Europe's leading figures." Said the European to Dulles: "It's very important that this satellite situation should develop in such a way that the Soviet Union is surrounded by friendly countries." Replied Dulles: "We have no desire whatever that the Soviet Union shall be surrounded by unfriendly countries. But that is not a matter which is in our control...
Christ will return and the world will end some time between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844, said William Miller. So did many another European and American Bible scholar.

Drawing depth and drama from the history it helps illustrate, it has reflected not European painting but American life-rough and smooth, tumultuous and diverse. And though it is a great river of many sources and many passing moods, its strongest single current throughout is a searching realism. One measure of Edward Hopper's importance: he is today the revered champion of that tradition...
...support. If necessary, France could draw up to $525,-000,000; The Netherlands, $275,000,000; Austria, $50,000,000. But Director Jacobsson did not think the need would arise. The size of the loan to Britain would help stabilize the sterling area with which France and other West European nations are associated, make it unnecessary for them to withdraw their quotas...
