...cracks and a small hello when Thomson introduced it last year to an England used to tight little Sunday papers. "Roy Thomson has taught us something new in journalism," sneered Beaverbrook: "How we may have color without advertisements or alternately advertisements with color." The first issues were an arty mishmash, and the color supplement staggered along almost exclusively on Roy Thomson's money...
Anti-Yanqui Mishmash. Still, the Tractors for Freedom committee moved ahead. It sent Castro a tentative schedule for the exchange between men and machines, set a deadline for reply. Castro took his time, then, just a few hours before the deadline expired, cabled the committee. His message was a predictable mishmash of anti-Yanqui invective. He accused the committee of stalling-which must have seemed silly even to him. He charged the U.S. with aggression. He even offered to forgo his desire for tractors if the U.S. would only give up such prisoners as Pedro Albizu Campos, a mentally muddled...
...couldn't get much farther away from himself than Pal's lost Atlantis. The dress and decor are a sumptuous mishmash of Greek, Roman, Renaissance, Assyrian, Mayan, Egyptian. Tartar, and Park Avenue highrise. Cauldrons boil, priests prophesy, volcanoes belch, lava pours, mountains move, buildings crumble, tidal waves tumble, and death-ray guns pulverize people and ships.

Murrow took his tobacco habit to Washington as head of the U.S. Information Agency (see PRESS). Writer-Producer (The Sacco-Vanzetti Story) Robert Alan Aurthur quit TV with the parting shot: "Television may be unique in our free-enterprise system in that the harder...
...time passed, the park became a mishmash of changing tastes: there were Roman gods, a Joan of Arc, a majestically cloaked Saint-Gaudens Pilgrim, a copy of Rodin's naked Thinker. Then in 1913 the wealthy Mrs. Ellen Phillips Samuel, daughter of a Philadelphia iron tycoon, left in her will a trust fund to be used to buy "statuary emblematical of the history of America." Emblem No 1 was a sturdy Icelandic Viking named Thorfinn Karlsefni; after him came a procession of American types-a Ploughman, an Immigrant, a Slave, a Miner. Finally in 1950 the city decided...
