Be sides, he adds practically, "there has not been as great an impressionist painting available since World War II. The really great Renoirs are all in museums or foundations...

In his hands the Silly Putty of contemporary aspirations becomes the exploding plastic that symbolizes civilization's future. He seems to be saying with a near-confidential tone that...
...still seethes in the residue of April's unlearned lessons, and the aloof attitude of Mayor Henry Loeb and other officials hardly helps.
