Another insight into Persian painting may be gained from a portrait signed by the artist Aga Riza. This is dated about two and a half centuries later, from the end of the sixteenth century. Now there is no epic tale but a contemporary person, not an anonymous craftsman but a celebrated artist. Now it is studied delicacy of drawing, conscious rhythm of inner and outer line, but there is still the Persian abstraction. The body is without weight, a mere pattern of pleasing shapes of color, the pose is without stability...
...Hitler is seen by all Europe as a portentous figure, no longer an upstart but a German Chancellor of almost Bismarckian stature, a figure clothed with the aura as well as the fact of Power. Thus Der Führer was recently painted in what is today his favorite portrait (see cut). Up went the Opera House curtain in Berlin last week, and the world strained its ears as Messiah Hitler shared with his chosen Nazi Disciples the latest revelations of his almost feminine intuition...
...rebellion in 1916. As the prize exhibit in the repertoire of the Abbey Players, The Plough and the Stars long ago achieved the rating of a contemporary classic.

Soon afterward the two men met, and ever since Carter Glass and Jesse Jones have been the stanchest of friends, the warmest of mutual admirers. Senator Glass calls Chairman Jones the ablest administrator in Washington. First of this month he moved from Washington's Raleigh Hotel, where...
Most arresting feature of Commentator was its editorial comment, which ranged from nominating Franklin Roosevelt (whose portrait was on the cover) as Man of the Month, to open letters to Father Coughlin and Actress Mae West, urging the one to stay off the air, the other to retire from the cinema. Two full-page editorials on the U. S. National debt and the fate of Europe gave notice that, for the sounding-board of Publisher Payson & Associates, no subject may be considered too profound...
