...wild mockery of justice no better than the purge trials of the 1930s" was circulated by Mrs. Yuli Daniel and Pavel Litvinov, grandson of Stalin's Foreign Minister and one of the most daring of the dissidents. Shivering so badly in the January weather that her friends had to hold her to keep her warm, Larisa Daniel was asked why, when her husband was already in a labor camp, she was there.

...black light are in their way more valuable than photographic reproductions of the Great Works of Fine Arts 13. With the poster you not only have the "picture" designed by the artist but the materials, the consistency and the total visual effect. With a paper edition of Rembrandt you hold only a deceitful shadow of the real object without the thick oil texture, the density, the depth that make the work great...
