Three of the works in this exhibition depart from the Neo-Plastic tendency for a foray into Neo-Impressionism. A series of sunsets are in the pointillist style. The illusion of light and warmth produced by the use of light and color is spoiled by a clinical and sterile application of paint...
Whitaker & Baxter, political pressagents, are a lanky, gentle-looking white-haired man and an uncommonly pretty redhead. In nearly 25 years, the firm of Whitaker & Baxter has managed 75 political campaigns (all but two confined to California) and has lost only five.

...Harriman and Carmine De Sapio issued outraged denials, but the fact is that Oregon's Morgan understood their strategy even if he was wrong about the money. While waiting for the swept-up pieces, Averell Harriman will be standing by-but not idly. He has already made one foray into the Middle West, for a speech last month in Des Moines. (Harriman gave this critique of his Des Moines performance: "What they think about out there is ham and corn, and I was both hammy and corny.") Next fortnight he will fly to the Northwest for appearances in Seattle...
