Senator Fulbright's good friends the Southern industrialists were overjoyed, but his good friends in the Textile Workers Union of America. C.I.O., were not. Said T.W.U. Executive Vice President William Pollock, in an appeal for repeal of the Fulbright amendment: "What the court said, in effect, is that it is quite proper for employers in one section of the country to pay less for the same work as long as they can get away with it. Under this kind of reasoning we should also abolish the federal minimum wage law [under which the minimum is 75? an hour...
Kiesler's "galaxies" are not startlingly beautiful, but they are more original than any art novelty of the past decade-including Picasso's ceramics, Giacometti's stick-sculptures, Matisse's chapel at Vence, Jackson Pollock's dribble-pictures and Juan O'Gorman's outdoor mosaics at the University of Mexico.

A closer look justified the big tempera's title-Field Gate. In the foreground were two rickety gateposts, from which a faintly discernible path looped up and away over a vast, snow-swept hillside rising to an eerily shifting, storm-filled sky. Meticulously building this wide, wild scene, grass blade by grass blade, Wyeth suggested the looming forces of nature in an impassioned portrait...
