Next day the Britons gawked at a lavish agricultural exhibit, where Bevan peered dourly at the gilt-and-gingerbread buildings, commenting: "Pure Victorian. All show. This is the Victorian age of Russia. An immense show of wealth, concealing poverty. The landau at the door, the servants in the attic." At lunch there were long silences between toasts, broken at last by Attlee, who abruptly asked: "How do you get your milk in Moscow?" The Russians told them, in a laborious hum of translation, broken by the clear, social-worker voice of Dr. Edith: "I'm not interested in yield...
...Greeks. Marcks must share in the wearily analytical, self-deprecating consciousness of his time. His figures can be convincing in gesture, subtle in modeling, mildly dramatic, funny and reposeful, all together.

For his second one-man show, on exhibition last week at London's Beaux Arts Gallery, Artist Smith produced 15 examples of what he calls life's "acts of heroism." His big, life-size painting of a baby taking its first step beams with self-conscious bravery; his old lady in a wicker chair, a sort of off-key Whistler's mother, is the essence of enduring patience. Even his cadaverous Skid...
