...American art Alfred Stieglitz was the great pioneer, five decades ago. If Stieglitz has an heir it is Edith Gregor Halpert, whose Downtown Gallery (originally downtown but now located on East 51st Street) opened in 1926 with three artists that Stieglitz had turned over to her: John Marin, Charles Demuth, and Stieglitz' wife, Georgia O'Keeffe. In addition to the works of these three, Dealer Halpert also sells the paintings of the late Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Arthur Dove and Max Weber. Other artists on this formidable roster: Ben Shahn, Abraham Rattner, Charles Sheeler, Stuart Davis and Sculptor William Zorach...

But after experimenting with this equipment, prison authorities found that the rain coats could give little or no support in the water. They discovered a crudely fashioned paddle floating 200 yds. from Angel Island. And no Marin County...
Turning to Neighbors. To help revive the looted economy, the U.S. rushed $35.2 million in aid. For economic advisers the Council sensibly turned to the neighboring U.S. island Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, which speaks the same language and has plenty of economic experience. Governor Luis Muñoz Marin sent his experts to draw plans for a Dominican Industrial Development Corp., capitalized with $41 million in seized Trujillo assets. Puerto Rican specialists drafted a Dominican income tax law hiking levies on the rich, designed an agrarian reform law under which the Council is already distributing land, planned the country...
