...sleeping dogs of Mr. Selden Rodman's disagreement with my views of art and beauty lie [Nov. 28]; I am flattered by the attention he has paid me. There is someone, however, to whom I believe he has done a grave injustice in his book [The Eye of Man] -an artist not here to defend himself. I speak of the Pole, Jan Styka, close friend of Paderewski and one of the great men of his day, creator of the 200-ft.-wide painting Crucifixion at Forest Lawn Memorial-Park in Glendale, Calif.

Yet this is a fact which, as Koestler admits, his fellow intellectuals in Europe have still not swallowed...
...supposition that many politicians draw from this is that labor support not only repels large segments of the voters unconnected with unions, but that unions also cannot rally their own members to any political standard they choose. The reasons for this lie in the non-Marxian sociology of the American workingman. Its implications point a warning to the leaders of the new labor federation. While Meany and Reuther may visualize the AFL-CIO as a vast new political fulcrum which can make politicians tremble and cause labor policies to be transformed into political action, the task ahead may be much...
