...silent lines penetrate the marrow like a cry of pain; such a cry was never heard among the Greeks and Romans." Thus German Dramatist Gerhart Hauptmann described the works of the late Käthe Kollwitz, Germany's leading woman artist and one of the most powerful figures of 20th century expressionist art. But in a way, Dramatist Hauptmann was wrong, as the current exhibit of Kollwitz' work at Manhattan's Galerie St. Etienne clearly shows. Although she left few garlands in honor of Apollo or Aphrodite, her deep cry of sorrow at the death...

And against charges that he was "Olympian," "pompous," "ponderous," he could well defend himself: "My endeavor," he wrote, "is to make the heavy light; my ideal is clarity; and if I write long sentences-a tendency inherent in the German tongue-I make it my business, not without success, to maintain the utmost transparency and spoken rhythm."

With an ambitious eye on the Republican presidential nomination in 1936, Hoffman let his vision stray to the Lindbergh kidnaping case. Bruno Richard Hauptmann stood convicted of the crime, but Hoffman, insisting that he sought justice for Hauptmann and not publicity for himself, impoliticly tried to reopen the case. He died awaiting justice for himself, under suspension as New Jersey's employment-security director since last March, when his purchasing division came under fire...
