...Institute, even though it withheld 25 prints as "unfit for public exhibition," has received phone calls complaining, in effect, that Picasso is a dirty old man and demanding that the exhibit be removed. But what matters about "347 Gravures" is that the old master proves he can still invest a female nude with classic grace by means of a single magical line.

Consumers and businessmen rushed to borrow, spend and invest, hustling to convert their cash into goods or services before the value of the dol lar declined still further. All this only stoked inflation, and led to an abnormally steep demand that may cause an abrupt contraction on some less lucky tomorrow.
