...Edward Hopper's Sunlight in a Cafeteria (see color) was strictly old-school-tie abstraction-the tie being to reality. It proved once again that Hopper, 76, keeps as firm a grip on imaginary space as any abstract artist alive, still wrings poetry from its arrangement. Charles Sheeler, Georgia O'Keeffe and Loren Maclver also scored for the older generation, and Stuart Davis' brassily old-fashioned abstraction, Pochade, was like a joyful bopping of the drums for Dixieland jazz, a great U.S. export of another era. Overall, the Whitney show testified that there is more substance...
...this July ground will be broken for the first two hundred man unit of the planned six hundred man quad of the 'facility.' Clearly this facility is intended to be more than just a hopper or malcontents. The facility is meant to be a genuine alternative situation to club living, and it looks mighty like a house...
...Columnists. "Hedda Hopper I like. She's a gallant, crazy old gal with lots of steam. But Louella Parsons I don't like.

Thus the handy Beat Generation label, a device more literary than lifelike that has been applied to everything from Godot* to Bardot...
...veto of a sales tax increase to make up a predicted $15 million deficit-Docking emerged, in some minds at least, as the little taxpayer's frustrated friend. But Republicans are making hay with the fact that the ill-smelling Teamsters plopped $3,500 into his 1956 campaign hopper-a fact which Docking first clumsily denied and then admitted. And in crucial Sedgwick County, the local Democrats are in bad repute (Wichita, pop. 260,000) over recent scandals, e.g., the pending disbarment action against a common-pleas judge charged with having advised members of a burglary ring. Docking...
