...years, it has become the favorite retreat of top-ranking military men, too-so much so that at times the Cotton Bay Club has looked more like a tropical officers' club than the gilt-edged resort it is. Last week the House Armed Services Committee revealed that a lot of the high brass have been relaxing on the Cotton Bay Club's palm-fringed golf course as freeloading guests of Baltimore's Martin Co.. manufacturers of military aircraft and missiles (Vanguard, Titan, Mace). In the past three years no fewer than 25 top-ranking Navy...
...gift: 1) a $3,000.000 addition to the museum, in the form of an Oriental wing, designed to meet Brundage's specifications, and 2) a Brundage-approved curator and staff for the collection. If the price is steep, the prize is nothing short of fabulous. Best of the lot are Brundage's bronzes, dating back 30 centuries to the almost mythical Shang-Yin dynasty in China. Among the finest is the "Holy Man" or Lohan (opposite), whose peaceful humility especially delights the fighting autocrat who bought...
...some sort is probably a necessity." In an address to the Darwin Centennial Celebration at the University of Chicago last week, the grandson of Darwin's friend and defender, Biologist Thomas Huxley, went on to describe what he called a "religion" of the future-although it sounded a lot like the old humanist faith of the past.

...monocle, his grey, lavender-tinted gloves, his white forelock setting off Italianate good looks, Whistler cultivated an exotic showmanship to mask self-doubts about his craft. The company he kept added a satanic touch by being mad, neurasthenic, and sexually deviate or profligate. The most colorful of the odd lot was Charles Augustus Howell. One of his exploits was to dig up the coffin of Elizabeth Rossetti by moonlight to retrieve a manuscript her grieving husband, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, had buried with the body. Howell housed his wife, a bevy of artistically inclined mistresses, and half a dozen children under...
...cast plays with warmth and exuberance. They convincingly create the atmosphere of friendliness, love, and sorrow that is the film's best quality. It is interesting to note, too, that they are a most ordinary looking lot, as the most complex individuals. But here, the actors make an effort to keep their characterizations on the proletarian level called for in the script. One believes that Valentina Telegina (who looks, incidentally, like a peasant mother symbol) is an uncomplicated woman devoted to her family and not bothered by the "greater things" taking place around...
