Matisse early, a revolutionary period, so well represented at recent New York exhibits, is confined in his exhibition to prints such as "Seated Nude" which indicate the extreme freedom of line, but not the uninhabited use of color that won from critics the derisive label "fauve." When he painted "Bathers with a turtle," Matisse was already moving away from completely spontaneous expression toward a more "thoughtful freedom." In "1908" he showed that the passing sensations of moment did not completely define his feelings. From this point on, his goal seemed to be a "condensation" which would maintain his emphasis...
...Disney might have a tough time proving his case. For one thing, the U.S. Patent Office has never received an application from Disney to use the name as a trademark. According to the patent office, Schwartz's Davy Crockett Enterprises is the owner of a valid clothing trademark label, "Davy Crockett, Frontiersman."

Indiana's Republican Senator William Jenner shouted at Corsi: "You used strong language here yesterday. You said Mr. McLeod heads a 'security gang.' I want to tell Mr. McLeod that he is doing a good job, and that won't be the last time he's called something like that. Anybody who does a good security job can expect to be smeared with...
Your editorial of Monday, April 25, landed the University for allowing Pete Seeger to appear despite his alleged affiliation with "left-wing causes and radical activities." This praise is justifiable in light of current political pressure throughout the country. However, the attempt to label each performer's views prior to his appearance represents a dangerous compromise of this principle which the University claims to be upholding. These "labels" have been used far too often to discredit many great names in every profession and field of knowledge...
