...chief claim to fame-he paints with colors that are as loud as a Marine band, as subtly harmonious as a Bach cantata. But "what counts most in a picture," says 76-year-old Matisse, "is drawing and composition." Last week 22 of his black-&-white pen-&-pencil drawings went on view at the Manhattan gallery of his son, Pierre Matisse. It was the first show to come out of France since the war, and it revealed the French master at his joyful best...
...supported the May bill. Some, fed up with Army bureaucracy, asked in vain for further hearings on the bill. Some thought that the current concepts of control ignored the real nature of pure research. Said one such doubter: "A lot of nuclear research is done with a brain, a pencil and a piece of paper. How can you control that...
...guinea pig more warmly welcomed. For 20 months young Henley lay on his back, while the daring Lister torturously scraped the infected foot bones with antisepticized instruments. To the general astonishment, gangrene failed to set in. When the scraping was successfully finished, the patient sat up and called for pencil and paper.

Editor Henley ruthlessly rewrote all his contributors-poets, essayists, novelists, the connoisseur of Continental cooking-leaving the well-known "trail of Henley" all over the magazine. "I was comforted," said young Yeats, after Henley had laid a heavy pencil on his lyrics, "by my belief that [he] also rewrote Kipling." It was "exceedingly characteristic" of Henley, said George Bernard Shaw, to be deeply puzzled by Shaw's fury when a Shavian article in praise of Mozart was "edited" by Henley into a savage attack on Wagner...
