West German critics greeted the rediscovery of Schönfeld with rejoicing, calling him "a man of major stature." They were somewhat at a loss to explain how such a great master could have been consigned to oblivion for so long. The best explanation seemed to be that Schönfeld's preoccupation with the macabre and the absurd, his penchant for scenes of gravediggers and treasure seekers, marked him as a German Romantic two centuries ahead of his time. Then, too, Schönfeld limned his scenes of violence in a cool, depersonalized vein. In the opinion...
...Master Plan. The center is only part of Los Angeles Architect William Pereira's master plan (TIME cover, Sept. 6, 1963) to develop Irvine in an orderly way that will avoid swamping land values all around, block the spreading disarray of the ranch's municipal neighbor to the north.

Lear might have improved the popular appeal of his work if he had been able to follow the advice of Don Marquis on the proper quality of the limerick...
...Morgenthau was one of the President's closest confidants and most loyal disciples. Crusty and at times a bit pompous, he was a master of intra-Cabinet maneuver and often stole the march on his fellow secretaries in influencing the President's decisions. It was he, more than any other Administration figure, who drafted the Allied economic battle plan for World War II and brought America's fiscal physique back to fighting trim...
