...Nixon group seems far ahead of the Romney for President Committee, which almost surreptitiously set up shop a few blocks to the north in March. The Romney group, which includes many middle-aged pros and is led by Old Gladiator Leonard Hall, 66, conveys a relatively stodgy impression. The linoleum-floored suite is virtually hidden away on the Shoreham Building's eighth floor, next to the offices of Sidney Zlotnick, attorney at law. Nixon headquarters, by contrast, abuts the salon of Madame Dana, a popular palmist, who prognosticated: "His convictions come across a lot better than they used...
...eyes of the farmer. It wouldn't make much of a pet, but it has about all the other qualities of Al Capp's famous Shmoo. It is crushed into edible oils for cooking and salads and into livestock feed. It goes into antiknock gasoline, linoleum, chocolate candy bars, and helps make fire extinguishers foam...
There were other entertainments for the sensation seekers. A special Northwest Regional C.I.D. force of 140 men has also busied itself investigating a handful of houses in the neighborhood, some occupied and some not. Crowds watched police meticulously remove kitchen utensils, brooms, linoleum and bedding from one tidy row house, with a vase of flowers in the window, in a "council housing estate" (public housing project) several miles east of Manchester. Last month police turned up a suitcase containing a scrambled skein of recording tapes in the checkroom of a Manchester railway station, played the tapes at a BBC studio...
...think this sort of staging is a mistake. It exaggerates the problems of working in the Loeb because it breaks up the illusion. A band of soldiers, for example, parading down the center aisle, calls attention to the linoleum on the floor and the exit signs above the doors near which they enter. The shallow sets destroy the sense of a world around the actors. Flats too far forward make the action seem two-dimension, which undercuts whatever believability the actors have given the play. The stylized sets in the three spring productions also enhanced the artificiality...
...Line & Stencil. For much of his chameleon career, Picasso regarded graphics as another kind of drawing, but the pure lines contrasting with hard planes of his late linoleum cuts bring out his simplification of nature in a sharper manner than his oils. Matisse found that his late, swimming arabesques could be better executed by stencils than by brush bristles. Miro learned that his love of texture was readily brought out by the relief in paper of etching. In Chagall's 13 editions on the Arabian Nights, he found that colors of lithography achieved a brazen Oriental romance that oils would...
