...from the crystal to build a man, a woman, a child." This tension between geometric and biological forms is what has most distinguished his work ever since. It makes him one of the most admired and least understood sculptors, for Lipchitz' geometric parings and biomorphic bulgings combine to give a brutal and confused effect, like that of a life-and-death struggle in a gunny sack...
...with one that was more representational. It didn't work. This head is right for this figure." He adds defensively: "Some people have said I make the head unimportant. This is just not so. Because I think the head is the most important, I use the head to give scale to the rest of a figure. If one can give the human meaning of a head without using eyelashes, nostrils and lips, just reduce it to a simplicity-the angle at which it is poised to the neck, say-then by making it small, one can give a monumentality...
...when steel inventories will become exhausted and the economy will be hard hit by the strike. If this happens, Secretary of Labor James Mitchell said he would recommend that the President invoke the Taft-Hartley Law. Such action would send the Steelworkers back to work for about 80 days, give a fact-finding board time to study the issues and try to persuade both sides to settle. If no settlement is reached during the 80-day cooling off period then the strike would resume...
...aircraft industry is under fire from all sides. British editorialists charge that companies are too conservative to press far-out research, too slow to push mergers that would give them greater resources to develop new products.

The association blamed the industry's decline on "unparalleled government muddle, management inefficiency, and a seemingly complete disregard...
...that in half a century he figures he has found close to $1 billion for borrowers. And last week Money Finder Clark was dickering on the biggest deal of his career: arranging the financing for two 90,000-ton. super-economy transatlantic ocean liners. If the German government will give a guarantee for 70% of the costs of the ships, a plan that German Economics Minister Ludwig Erhard intends to discuss in New York this month with Promoter H. B. Cantor and other principals, Clark figures that he can raise $112 million out of the estimated $160 million cost...
