This luminous little legend, so much like the Western Cinderella story and yet so much more, has been made into a slow (perhaps too slow) and stately motion picture by the same Japanese company that produced Rashomon, Ugetsu and Gate of Hell. The film has the quality of endless resonance that distinguishes the true myth. Like a gong, it is small in itself, but the sound of it carries a very long way. The reverberations of the culminating symbol: the tree of life that bears the fruit of death, a death whose other name is love. For Western movie goers...
...ever won a victory for American arms, or any statesman who triumphed on behalf of U.S. diplomacy. Rockefeller's life is simply, quietly and uniquely dedicated to his fellow men. Through his compulsive drive to push back the horizons of learning, culture, and opportunity, he has set in motion currents that have influenced the lives of most of his fellow citizens at home and millions of his fellow humans abroad. With an instinctive feeling for the latent resources of the U.S. and the world, he has raised the levels of education, gathered art for all to see, inspired millions...

With his investigations of juvenile delinquency, violence and sex in motion pictures, pornography, black-market babies and Dixon-Yates, Kefauver went prospecting for publicity. He became one of the first Democrats to speak out squarely against Dwight Eisenhower ("Eisenhower is a disappointing President"). Whereas most prospective presidential candidates make one trip abroad, Kefauver made three, covering Europe, the Middle East...
...elaborate visual lexicon in which he "explained" his favorite devices (dots, lines, arrows, planes) and assigned to each a meaning according to its direction or placement. But, as in Fire Wind (opposite), little more than the title is actually necessary to decipher a Klee painting. The red arrows indicate motion, in this case of wind feeding the fire, while the green arrows struggle to hem the flames in against the background darkness. She Howls, We Play uses lines that are a cross between wire sculpture and children's sidewalk scrawls; the figures might as well be cow with heifers...
