South Korean officials were impressed with the speed of the U.S. airlift. But they are now worried that the U.S. may try to pull some of its forces out of Korea on the grounds that in any emergency, it could easily fly them right back.

Two mercy planes have crashed in the eleven months since the airlift got under way. The eight crewmen killed in the crashes lie in simple...
...purveyor of nostalgia, Blair invited comparison with Grandma Moses. He too was unable to conquer perspective or master the technique of shadow. His rivers run up and down hillsides in carefree disregard of Newton, and the passengers in his buckboards are sometimes bigger than the animals that pull them. Like Grandma, he never went to art shows, completely ignored art magazines, and firmly refused to take formal instruction...
