...George Washington and Samuel Morse's The Gallery of the Louvre to a good Eakins, a vigorous Mary Cassatt of boaters feeding ducks, and a set of admirable monotypes by Maurice Prendergast. There is also some very minor work by famous names (Homer, Martin Johnson Heade, John Frederick Kensett) and a plethora of those 1890s contre-jour pictures of nice Boston girls in flowing chiffon scarves -- genteel provincial salon painting that has been revived as a market craze for investors now that the supply of Childe Hassams and the like is running...
...plant could be taken to symbolize some aspect of God's plan, had a landscape been as widely moralized as America's wilderness. Novak persuasively argues that the powers of artists as diverse as Frederic Edwin Church, Albert Bierstadt, Martin Johnson Heade, Thomas Cole or John F.

...tough act to follow, but Singer Georgia Holt is ready to face the music. Holt, nee Jackie Jean Crouch 51 years ago in Kensett, Ark., happens to be the mother of another warbler: Cher.

Lately, the cherubic Congressman from Kensett, Ark., has also been moving into foreign policy, opening a one-man campaign to solve a long-festering problem in relations between the U.S. and Japan and avert an international trade war. Last week his well-intentioned efforts led to a direct confrontation with President Nixon, who was clearly annoyed. The break could develop into a power struggle that would unsettle U.S. trade policy and possibly affect the fate of revenue sharing...
...Malarkey. A bland, stocky native of Kensett (pop. 905), Democrat Mills, 58, maintains that the tax bill is not languishing in his committee because of his personal opposition. "The Administration," he told TIME Correspondent Neil MacNeil last week, "can have a vote any time. The fact is that they don't have the votes to pass the bill in the House. If I wanted to, I couldn't pass it." Congressional liaison men from the White House and legislative leaders of both parties agree that the House overwhelmingly opposes the tax bill. Republican Leader Jerry Ford believes that...
