...Europe it has been customary for the art critics of each country to boost native artists. U.S. critics have long declined to do the same, but now they are changing. Sign of the trend: George Braziller Inc. last week published six monographs on U.S. artists, to sell at $3.95 in hard cover and $1.50 in Pocket Book. The low prices were achieved by gambling on large sales and by ordering big first printings-10,000 hard cover, 50,000 paperbacks. The editions are identical inside, carry more than 80 plates each, with 16 in color (drawn partly from the files...
...pinch-hit, swatted another homer. Two batters later, Neal came back to hit a 420-ft. blast into the White Sox bullpen for two more runs. In the eighth, stubby Third Base Coach Tony Cuccinello, the man who had flashed the go-go sign to the Sox all season long, sent heavy-footed Catcher Sherm Lollar lumbering for home with the tying run.

Since June, the Government has financed nearly $16 billion in the short-term market, ballooned interest rates, dried up much of the normally available money supply. The rush for the new issue proved that Treasury Secretary Robert Anderson was on the right track when he asked for removal...
...Chicago federal court, the most important legal decision affecting U.S. business this year-and perhaps for years to come-was handed down last week by snow-mustached Judge Walter Jacob LaBuy. Framing the terms for the long-awaited divorce of Du Pont from its 23% control of General Motors stock, Judge LaBuy ruled that Du Pont may keep its 63 million shares (market value: $3.5 billion), but must give up its voting rights...
