...terrific that it seems to me as if objects were silhouetted not only m black and white, but in blue red, brown and violet." So wrote Paul Cézanne to Pissarro from the Riviera hill town of L'Estaque. It was the sort ot keen observation of nature that Cézanne captured consummately in oils And last week, eighty years after he finished it, his Houses at L'Estaque sold for $800,000 to a private U.S. collector at Manhattan's Parke-Bernet Galleries It was a world's record...
This is a tough contest to figure, and one which Harvard fans will doubtless be watching with keen interest. Dartmouth's defense is a question mark, and their 56-6 win over puny New Hampshire last week means nothing. The Holy Cross pass defense, untested against Harvard, may be week, and Holy Cross will see plenty of aerials from the Indians' Mickey Beard...
...Very few economists expect an outbreak of inflation unless the Vietnamese war intensifies. The economic forces that create sweeping price rises have so far not converged.

Nonetheless, Washington has reason for concern. Despite the absence of concerted inflationary forces to date, the plain fact is that prices and wages are rising all over...

But the Soviet press stands not in front but behind the masses, following popular trends and undercurrents gingerly and grudgingly. Whatever liberal innovations have been introduced lately are not the work of audacious editors, keen reporters and erudite commentators. They have been made because of the demands of the readership, which is slowly and rather unwillingly being followed by the press...
Nowhere is the competition as keen as in New York City, which boasts more (111), and more diverse, private schools than any other city in the country. The rigidly classical Lycée Francais has a curriculum similar to the one used in French schools, while the offbeat Rudolf Steiner School is based on anthroposophical principles. Progressive Dalton gives no marks, teaches anthropology and playwriting to upperclassmen, while prim, socially prominent Hewitt rules that students cannot attend "parties, moving pictures or the theater" on school nights...
