President Truman is reported planning to appoint former North Carolina Senator Frank S. Graham to the $15,000-a-year post...
...usual, the critics were kind. Liking the clear colors, clean shapes and easy sweep of Hancock's water colors, they winked at the abstract whatnots-right angles, arcs and bright balloons-with which he jazzes some of them up. Hancock, like elder Britons Paul Nash, John Piper and Graham Sutherland, divides his allegiance between traditional British landscape painting and abstraction; like them, he cannot bear to forsake either one altogether...
...Dance Committees to work hard and plan well" is false. Each Dance Committee does its utmost to provide their House with the best dance possible. They all work together to increase the total sales for the bettermen of their individual Houses.

Fundamentally, Giant Coach Steve Owen managed this feat by getting his linemen to charge the Browns so furiously that it kept the timing of the Browns' offense off balance. Such tactics had the desired effect, but proved costly in retrospect. The Giants themselves were so bruised that four players had to be sent to the hospital, and right after the victories over Cleveland they dropped two out of three games...
