...Figueiredo, were subtle portraitists who could have swapped paint brushes & pallettes with all but the best of the Flemish painters. But the Portuguese types por trayed, the thinner paint on the canvases, the gentler, sun-warmed treatment of crucifixions, decapitations and flayings, gave Portugal's school a flavor...
James Norman Hall, who collaborated with Charles Nordhoff on the memorable Bounty books (Mutiny on the Bounty, Men Against the Sea, Pitcairn's Island), has struck off a happy character in his bland, blue-eyed old surgeon. If its 18th-Century flavor is not distinguished, neither is it strained, and the same goes for Warren Chappell's pen-&-ink illustrations. Now 53, with a son of 14, lean Norman Hall still lives at Papeete, Tahiti, where he and Nordhoff went to be at peace after fighting through the last war. Tahiti being a French possession, their remoteness from...
...Tonight's concert is garnered from a far broader range than most serious programs. From Elizabethan England comes a church liturgy by Byrd, full of wonderful organ effects and harmonic coloring.

S. scene without trimmings is Minnesota-born Arnold Blanch, 26 of whose bleak, overcast landscapes and figure-paintings drew Manhattan's gallerygoers last week to the Associated American Artists' Galleries...
...Coffee is vacuum-packed by some canners because the oxygen in the air diminishes freshness and flavor. It occurred to Engineer Jay Erwin Tone of Des Moines that freshness and flavor might be even better preserved if, after air was pumped from the can, it was replaced by vapor from fresh-ground coffee. After several years of puttering, he invented a big machine which fills 3,000 coffee cans an hour with such vapor...
