...Philip G. Pavia himself waves the new banner of forgetfulness, or "non-history": "Associating present sensations with past experience is normal and even necessary in everyday living, but such associations are poisonous in creating art. When the process of association fills the initial intuition with the pastness of dead data-stuff the impact of this intuition is reduced to that of general experience." intellectual confusion prevailing among painters springs partly from "critical permissiveness": "Our esthetic yardstick is geared largely to the novel. We expect the same kind of dramatic discoveries from our artists that we do from our scientists...
...July 14 another series of balloon-borne instruments detected an even hotter burst of radiation, about 10,000 times more intense than normal cosmic rays. Both the May and July radiation bursts, say the Minnesota scientists, came from the same disturbed region on the sun, which has been exploding for many months like a vast ammunition dump. As the sun rotates, flare after flare has sprayed streams of particles into space, sweeping the solar system like streams of water from a revolving lawn sprinkler...
...actually is. Said Martin: "As the structure of the economy keeps changing, the job of combining measures of its many parts into a single index cannot be done without having to make major revisions every few years."

He lunches in S.-P.'s small dining room; one of his favorite dishes is hash. His home life is just as plain. A man who cannot keep from.working with his hands, he rebuilt a loo-year-old farmhouse from a tumbledown...
...rise came from a strong demand for oil products that exceeded earlier industry forecasts. With record six-month sales of $621 million, Sinclair Oil Corp. boosted profits to $1.76 per share, v. $1.45 in the first half last year. Second-half prospects, noted Sinclair Chairman P. C. Spencer, are even brighter. Said he: "In July gasoline prices began to strengthen appreciably, and if this trend can be maintained, it is reasonable to expect that the remainder of 1959 should continue to show improvement...
