Long Queues. Such gloom is widespread, reports TIME'S Herman Nickel. "Surveys reveal that well over 1 million Britons [out of a total population of 56 million] now express a firm intention of emigrating; 4.5 million are considering it. There are long queues waiting for immigration permits outside the Canadian and Australian High Commissions. An exodus of the sizable American community has already begun...

...naked under their clothes, blood coursing under their skins, all of whose exposed heartbeats together would drown out the united voices of the machines." The pictorial result was a labored and rather masochistic fortissimo, executed in the belief that feeling was all: jagged lines, dissonant and fulgid colors, heavy gloom.

...formal terms, a great painting. But it is quite unforgettable, suffused by apprehension. Salome is less a dancing girl than a priestess, absorbed in her solipsistic gesture, gliding on point across the inlaid floor. In the brooding Herod, the standing executioner, the vista of Moorish arches and sifting gloom, one sees the apex of the kind of sensibility that in the hands of a Cecil B.
