...when on the one hand Picasso and Matisse were charged with anarchy or incompetence or when, on the other, Bonnard was denounced as a "decadent impressionist" or Chagall as a "reactionary from cubism." More than half the artists exhibited are now deceased and almost all are very much the product of environments no longer to be found anywhere on the globe.

The No. 1 item: service-63% of those who were satisfied with service said they would buy the same brand again; only 39% who were dissatisfied were willing to try again.

Reasons Mitchell: by 1965 U.S. gross national product must jump 40%-to $560 billion-to supply goods to expected population of 193 million. For this, nation will need 10 million more workers, and since labor is short, a four-day week would be "to the detriment of the full use of our resources...
