...time when Manhattan's famed 1913 Armory Show plunged the U.S. headlong into modern art. Davidson's counsel was still being pondered this week as museum doors opened on the two biggest prize-giving events of the year. Washington's 25th Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary American Oil Paintings at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago's 62nd American Exhibition of Painting and Sculpture, which together announced awards totaling $12.200. Between them, the two shows constituted a study of contemporary U.S. painting and sculpture, and supplied this year's answers...
ATOMIC SUBMARINE tanker is on the drawing boards of Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy-Industries Ltd. Nuclear-powered undersea craft will do 22 knots, carry 30,000 tons of oil, measure 540 ft. by 69 ft., to dwarf the first U.S. atom sub Nautilus. Snorkel craft will be able to stay submerged for a month straight, safe from turbulent storms. Cost: about twice as much as conventional tanker of same size...

While M. & M. does not carry the actual fire, casualty, loss, or accident insurance itself, it acts as an expert broker, helping companies place their insurance as cheaply as possible. One result of such diversification is that while many casualty insurance firms...
...story has the nature of a dream landscape described by someone who had all his senses about him. Its quality is indicated in passages as stern and unsentimental as a death sentence: "We dressed our wounds with grease of a fat Indian we had killed, for we had no oil, and had a good supper on some of the dogs they breed to eat. The houses were deserted and the food had been carried off ... but during the night [the dogs] returned to their houses and we snatched them with relish...
