...cooing to carping. Nor was it the managers who booked him into that deadly round of whistle-stop tours called Community Concerts. His problem was the quandary of every young performer: "He must perform early for an audience to develop his personality. On the other hand, the inner gifts need development privately. If these are developed in front of the public, many things are exaggerated, experimental, uncertain...
Indulgent Affection. Jordaens scorned Van Dyck's elegancies. In contrast to Rubens, he looked at the roistering pleasures of a good burgher's family life without feeling any need to translate them into the realm of gods, goddesses or nymphs. He was more interested in the play of light than Rubens ever was, and his studies of faces, with that unexpected illumination that candlelight can bring, are something that Rubens never tried nor achieved...

Few college guards are big enough to hold their own in the pros, and the pros usually fill the position with the fastest and most agile college tackles. In the case of Shinners, however, this need not be true. He is a stick-out at guard, with "great maneuverability, good lateral movement and the speed to pull out and lead sweeps.

Likes to play it tight. Tough." If he were not a junior, another top contender is Jake Scott, Georgia, 6 ft. 1 in., 190 Ibs. He is a blue-streak...
...need weep for the brokers or their firms. Though profits on commission transactions will be off from last year, the average 16% that the firms earn on invested capital compares well with any other line of U.S. business. Then, of course, there are those celebrated Wall Street Christmas bonuses -even though many brokers are cutting back a bit. At Merrill Lynch, biggest of all, employees with more than 20 years' service, who collected an ex tra 23 weeks' salary last Christmas, will get only 22 weeks extra this year. Five-to ten-year men will get 17 weeks...
