...anatomical exactness, yet they are unmistakably teutonic. In his treatment of St. Jerome and the Lion, a subject which occupied him several times, Durer shows the influence of changing spatial concepts until his 1522 representation seems to be little more than an exercise in perspective. But there is a parallel concern in this series for palpable representation. In the very famous engraving St. Jerome in His Study, light and line are used to bring out tactile values...

"There is before us a realizable vision of security in Europe . . . provided-and of course this proviso is of the utmost importance-we can make similar progress with respect to the unification of Germany," Dulles declared. Molotov was forced to a "fallback position" that free elections would deprive East Germany's loyal citizens of the joys of Communism...
