Among them are Sea Birds (from the Metropolitan Museum) and Light in Autumn (opposite). Both have the flawed-crystal complexity, the hint of cubism applied to open air, that has become his trademark. Thon builds each composition on a lattice of smudgy rectangles, laid in partly with putty knives, and laces his sharp, delicate outlines well into the lattice. An extraordinary yet unobtrusive richness of texture results. More important, Thon's technique stretches and modifies the vision of the viewer. In his pictures, air has peculiar sparkle and density, and the things it seems to enclose look fragile...
...others succeed to a remarkable degree. Douglas Watson is an affecting Ralph, gentle without being wispy as Isabel's consumptive adorer. Though given no chance to hint at the charm and initial love which wins Isabel's hand, Robert Flemyng's Osmund is to perfection the egoistic tyrant the script prescribes. With Archibald's assist, however, one performance makes all the others seem drab. Cathleen Nesbitt draws from the role of Osmund's vulgar sister a vibrant bitterness which bursts from the genteel monotony of the play. Her acid interpretation, less dilute with silliness than James' conception, gives the lines...
...become supermen, the more we become inhuman." Later, Schweitzer mentioned his plan to put all of his prize money ($33,149) into his hospital establishment at Lambaréné, the jungle town that is his home. But, said selfless Albert Schweitzer, more money is still needed. That was hint enough for Oslo's newspapers. In three days of appeals, they raised nearly $35,000 from Norwegian donors...
...loss of the host's immunity or an increase in microbial virulence. Dubos suggests that receptivity to infection in the first place may depend on bodily mechanisms entirely different from those which regulate other aspects of physical wellbeing, such as growth. So far, Dubos can only hint at what these mechanisms may be. One clue lies in acute starvation, as distinguished from long-range underfeeding. If Dubos takes well-fed mice, but omits their feedings for 30 hours (not long enough to cause obvious physical distress), they become suddenly susceptible to artificial infections, which prove rapidly fatal. Some chemicals...
...that the constitution of the Fourth Republic makes the Premier a prisoner of the National Assembly. Until this "framework" is broken, the general saw no hope for truly stable government. But before the meeting was over, De Gaulle, the warring hero, gave Mendes, the new man of hope, a hint of even more support. Around the end of November, the general confided, he will publicly proclaim his full retirement from French political life. De Gaulle has retired before, but this time he promised Mendes that he will free the 70-odd Deputies who still remain loyal to him to vote...
