...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. However, the best color print, Nirvana, is so excellent that one is sorely tempted to modify one's attack on Munakata's color schemes. Here, in this haunting, mystical picture, color plays a positive and entirely thought-out psychological role...
Back to the Desk. Polished, pleasant, hawk-eyed Chris Herter, says a close friend, has never had "that indefinable something that makes dogs and children follow him down the street"-but his recognized abilities were enough to get him narrowly elected Governor of Massachusetts in 1952, and his skilled, if unspectacular, performance was enough to get him overwhelmingly re-elected in 1954. In 1956, his gubernatorial career about to end, Herter became Harold Stassen's unwilling selection for Vice President against Richard Nixon (Herter publicly rebuffed Stassen, himself made a nominating speech for Nixon).

From his aerie in Switzerland, hawk-eyed Karl Barth, 72, Europe's most prestigious Protestant theologian, peers coolly at the Christian West.

Attracted by published pictures of Princess Ella, he went to Geneva ostensibly for dental care, was a dinner guest at the sprawling Merlinge villa where Ella lives with ex-Queen Marie José. After the Shah departed, the Italian press clamored so loudly that lovely Ella again visited her native land. At a press conference, after some pensive thought, she told reporters...
...come up here sometimes, to think, and maybe get a grave or two ahead"). With the help of the "finest undertaker west of Dodge City," Doc Stucke (clearly related to Gunsmoke's Doc Adams), and loyal, limping Deputy Clyde Diefendorfer (Gunsmoke's Chester), Marshal Dooley watches hawk-eyed over the welfare of the town's citizens, taking special pains that drunks who wander out of the saloons are courteously guided right back inside...
