...COLLECTED STORIES OF ANDRE MAUROIS. In 38 tales framed as conversations, recollections and letters, the late distinguished partisan in the battle of the sexes takes a deep look at women who are either wise or foolish, vital or declining, in love or remembering what it was like...
...church, Lady Bird chirped a noncommittal "Wonderful choir." Smiling stiffly, the President shook hands with Lewis, mumbled "Thank you" and departed. Titillated by the event, Washington reporters in vented a slew of mock news bulletins and tacked them to a White House bulletin board. "President Johnson," said one, "announced late Sunday he has commissioned Artist Peter Hurd to paint a portrait of the Rev. C. P. Lewis."

The generation of Pollock and Kline had eliminated the figure; their canvases derived impact and emotion from the visible signs of struggle left by the painter's drips, splashes and violent brush marks. The "color field" painters of the 1950s, led by the late Morris Louis, eliminated the mark of the painter's hand, but their veils of color floating within the rectangle of a canvas aimed at evoking a haunting, lyric sense of other-worldly beauty. A Stella painting, on the other hand, locks form and content together, forcing the viewer to accept...
