...Marchand's color. The paintings in his previous exhibition (TIME, May 26, 1947) had reflected the cool hues of the Burgundy forest. Lately Marchand, like Van Gogh before him, had made a pilgrimage to Arles and developed a new palette there. Reds, phosphorescent greens and blues, and jet black were his standbys now. Some of his pictures looked like the negatives of color photos, with red skies, blue suns, green sand and black and green nudes. "Color doesn't interest me," he said flatly. "I am trying to extract light from all objects...
...Bush details the changes in warfare since World War II, and those we can reasonably expect in the future. He describes how light, mobile, powerful weapons such as recoilless guns have swung the advantage in land warfare back to the defense; how the co-ordination of radar net, jet-aircraft, and guided missile should make things very tough for the high-altitude bomber; bow rockets and fast submarines will be advanced enough to chop up conventional naval vessels at long range. Bush tends to describe war as crystallizing into a stable pattern-he states that a future war will bring...
...determined defense, as the sole means of bringing victory over a foe of equal or comparable strength, was a delusion, and not worth the extreme cost and effort it entailed . . .

...much the same old celebration of the Russian Revolution's anniversary (the 32nd this year). Lieut. General Vasily Stalin, the boss's son, led an aerial parade of four-engine bombers and jet fighters over the reviewing stand in Red Square. The main address was delivered by rising Red star Georgy M. Malenkov. Said Politburocrat Malenkov: the U.S. is trying to enslave the whole world, outdoing the Nazis and the Japanese imperialists; at the same time, the capitalist system is approaching another disastrous depression (by lumping in "those not working a full week," Malenkov arrived...
...maneuvered by his better nature into warring against evil. In his recent Key Largo, the malevolent-browed hero blocked the return of Capone-style gangsterism to the U.S., and in the soon-to-be-released Chain Lightning his visionary test-piloting insures the safety of kids who will fly jet-propelled airplanes. In Tokyo, he foils the resurgence of Japanese militarism...
