PREDICT TIME WILL HAVE TO ADD TO STAFF TO HANDLE LETTER DELUGE THAT WILL RESULT FROM SLY EDITORS' NEW DEAL QUERY . . . [TIME, June 20]. EAGERLY I AWAIT THE COMING INEVITABLE THOUSAND DIFFERENT ATTEMPTED DEFINITIONS OF THE NEW DEAL...
...avoid possible misunderstanding of the subject of his canvas . . . Albert Gold titled it The Enormous Egg Beater" (TIME, June 20, p. 23). Is this hoax or surrealism?
