...replying to the numerous queries put to him during his six hour visit, Feiffer relied on his spontaneous and quick reflexes which, when added to his other birdlike features, gave him a general appearance not unlike that of a chicken hawk on the make...
Springlike Tarheel vigor was at work last week from Kitty Hawk to Cherokee, from missile plant to church pulpit, reshaping a landscape once principally adorned by loblolly pine, flue-cured tobacco and two-room farm shacks. Near Laurinburg, Presbyterians broke ground for a new college, a few weeks behind the Methodist groundbreaking for a college at Rocky Mount and three years behind the brand-new $19 million campus of Baptist-affiliated Wake Forest College in Winston-Salem. All were additions to Dixie's best college complex, fed by Dixie's best public school system. In the center...
...heavy, almost garish, coloring emphasizes how far he has turned from the nice distinctions of tone and shade in eighteenth and nineteenth century Japanese prints. This very simple style, more Western than Oriental, mainly produces naive results; the childish, pseudo-folk art atmosphere of Stones in Water and Hawk Woman is most disturbing.

Soon after the 1956 elections...
From his aerie in Switzerland, hawk-eyed Karl Barth, 72, Europe's most prestigious Protestant theologian, peers coolly at the Christian West. Last week U.S. Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, 66, glared right back. In the Christian Century, Niebuhr sharply answered Barth's latest anti-West pronouncement-a 45-page pamphlet addressed to an anonymous pastor in East Germany who had asked for spiritual guidance...
