...immense corps of jobholders. . . . The dots, unfortunately, had to be made very small. . . . Even so, the chart is too large for the taxpayer to paste in his hat. Let him hang it, instead, on his parlor wall, between 'The American's Creed' and the portrait of Mr. Roosevelt. ... If there were no jobholders at all every taxpayer's income would be increased twenty-seven percent. Such is the bill for being saved from revolution and ruin by Wonder...
...jobs: Art Without Epoch, an anthology of 140 examples of "dateless" art from the past 4,000 years. Picked for their impact on the modern eye, Compiler Ludwig Goldscheider's exhibits will be much more fun for most laymen than a walk through the Louvre. An Egyptian mummy portrait* (see cut) done about 200 A. D. looks like the work of a modern illustrator, tricks of brushwork, pretty lifelikeness and all. A Greek idol from 2,000 B. C. is obviously nothing but abstract sculpture. More than any of the impressive books in the series, Art Without Epoch gets...
...smart innovation by Jury Chairman James Chapin was the grouping in separate galleries of conventional commissioned portraits and of the paintings submitted by jury members and faculty members.

Awards: for the best picture painted in oil, to Eugene Speicher for Marianna; for the best portrait...
...chief interest to Philadelphians was a large canvas by Philadelphia's excellent, liberal artist, George Biddle, entitled Family Portrait (see cut). It shows the tousled artist in his famous grey-green suit, his brother Francis, lawyer and onetime chairman of the first National Labor Relations Board, in a blue coat, and the youngest of the Biddle brothers, Sydney, a Philadelphia psychiatrist. Absent is the eldest brother, Moncure ("Monk") Biddle. An investment broker, he alone of the four upholds the tradition of their ancestor, Nicholas Biddle, who was president of the Bank of the United States and Andrew Jackson...
...refuse permission to other biographers. Weik took his advice so literally that for 30 years students could not get access to the 8,000 pages of material. Now in the Huntington Library in California, it has been drawn on by Emanuel Hertz, author of Abraham Lincoln-A New Portrait, in editing The Hidden Lincoln. A belated testimonial to Herndon's integrity, The Hidden Lincoln is a big book, dense and badly edited, repetitious, with few explanatory notes. Although it makes fascinating reading for people who know Herndon's Lincoln, it is likely to be alternately boring and shocking...
