...proliferation is a recent development in the city's history, having mostly been started since World War II. The galleries come in all shapes and sizes, vary in their wares from old masters to the much-publicized "pop art" to flagrant fakes. No one knows exactly how many galleries there are: nearly 200 were listed in Art News this month. The blue-chip galleries, however, whether young or old, way out or traditional, can almost be counted on the fingers of five hands...
...from embarrassing President Kennedy, the Cuba resolution carried the White House stamp of approval. Although it cited the Monroe Doctrine, the resolution endorsed the Administration view that the Russian buildup in Cuba, a flagrant violation of the Monroe Doctrine, does not demand any U.S. intervention. That view was affirmed once more in Secretary of State Dean Rusk's testimony before a joint closed-door session of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees.

Like an old man gossiping on the back stoop, he delights in sentimental recollection, revels in his role as a teller of tall tales, at which only Mark Twain is his equal. Above all, Faulkner carries on the flagrant, 30-year love affair he has had with Yoknapatawpha County and its ornery, enduring and, until now, doom-ridden people...
...allegiance to Communism "stuck out a mile." Yet, though they might be "eccentric," both were "gentlemen." Today, there are still many in Britain who scream "McCarthyism" at the suggestion that scientists or civil servants should be more closely screened. This month, in the wake of two other flagrant espionage cases, a government committee investigating security procedures recommended drastic reforms. Its findings stirred angry protests against what the Laborite Daily Herald called "spy mania." If Maclean and Burgess do return to Britain and come to trial, the full story of their defection should persuade the public that there have been occasions...
