...bought by the University of Nebraska Art Galleries for $600. Says Director Norman Geske: "This was an attempt to place ourselves up to date. We felt this was particularly brilliant. Ferren works with a full recognition of the accidental values you can get into a painting. He sometimes drops liquid paint on a canvas; the drops spread by themselves. Red and Blue is pretty much that sort of thing. In general it looks highly accidental, but to those of us who know better it represents a good deal of sensitivity...

A baseball park should be a place to get away from all this, but these days even a trip to Connie Mack Stadium is seldom a pleasure. The Philadelphia Phillies, now the only major-league team in town, are stumbling through their...
...early days after World War I, when most airmen agreed that the skies belonged to liquid-cooled plane engines, Fred Rentschler said flatly that the future lay in air-cooled engines. He helped start Wright Aeronautical Corp., went on to found Pratt & Whitney, whose lightweight, air-cooled Wasp engine was the first big U.S. advance, brought the air age roaring in. To meet its requirements, Rentschler's United Aircraft put together United Airlines as the first coast-to-coast carrier, pioneering a new era of transportation. The Government made Rentschler give up his airline, but nothing could stop...
