Weaker Axis? It was generally conceded that Great Britain had arranged the Yugoslav rapprochement with Russia. Russia's position gave the Allies one patch of comfort in the mottled quilt of European power politics last week. German occupation of Denmark and Norway, making the Baltic once more a German lake, was hardly calculated to increase the security of Leningrad, for which Russia has just fought one costly war.

...very ordinary guy. Like Letter-Writer Sullivan I've cluck-clucked a lot at "crazy quilt," Cubist paintings. Yet, after reading one paragraph of TIME'S Art article, dumb as I am, I began to understand what such painters are driving at. With TIME'S permission, I'd like to "get hot, get arty as Hell," and ram a few of my thoughts down Sullivan's throat...
