Designer of the arch was Lucia Helene Willoughby, a portrait painter and 23-year-old daughter of Broadway Committee Chairman P. A. Willoughby. Said the Broadway Association of her effort: "In depicting the Four Freedoms, Miss Willoughby has created several modifications of the original theme as developed by Norman Rockwell [TIME, June 21]. . . . Freedom of Speech . . . will show separate scenes. . . . Freedom from Want has been designated for the west panel. Here is portrayed Cornucopia pouring out its bounteous contents. . . . The fourth panel . . . will delineate Freedom from Fear. The ever-protecting element of mother love will be indicated by a mother...
...submarines off Casablanca, Rabat and Algiers. The five, which went down with wartime paint and wartime names, were once well-known passenger ships: American Export Line's Excalibur and Exeter, American President Line's President Cleveland and President Pierce and Grace Line's luxury liner Santa Lucia.

Josephus and the Emperor is sultry with wars, murders, double & triple- intrigues, early Christians, rape, weird religious rites, living burials and the intangible mood of desperation that pervaded late Roman society. There are memorable pictures of candidly dissolute Empress Lucia, who goes in for young intellectuals; of Norbanus, head of the secret police, who murders Domitian just before Domitian gets around to murdering him. There is Domitian himself, worrying about his place in history; tossing doles to the masses when he feels his popularity waning; plotting how to destroy the last liberties of the Senate. Against these monstrous Romans...
