When Stirling Hayden and his body arrived in Hollywood, many skeptics said that the mere fact that he was a nautical fellow, and very good-looking, did not necessarily imply that he would make a good actor. These skeptics were answered by the realists, who said that the mere fact that he might not be a good actor did not necessarily imply that he would be a failure in Hollywood. Now both of these arguments were based on rational grounds, but the realist school of thought failed to take one factor into consideration--just how bad Mr. Hayden's acting...
Until the Japs bombed Hawaii, the most any realist hoped for from last week's Conference on the Cooperation of Interdenominational Agencies was the adoption of alternative Plan A, a pious proposal that the eight great agencies of U.S. Protestantism should work together more closely. After the bombing, the 200 delegates at Atlantic City put through proposal C with a whoop calling for unification of all the agencies into a new "Council of the Churches of Christ in North America...
...this sort of thought we can and must arrive at a unified pattern of war aims. It is based on the two great intellectual advances we have made in the last twenty years: the realist approach to history, which has taught us that things are often not what they seem, and the realist school of literature (Hemingway, Dos Passos, Remarque) which has developed the idea that the real motive of all ideologies and governments is the furthering of the individual in his simple and personal life.

Ivan Albright calls himself a super-realist, says of surrealism: "I don't like tags. Surrealism means 1941-and a New Year is just around the corner." Some pictures, such as the wreath on a mortuary door, which he calls "That Which," take him as long as ten years to finish. The mortuary door last month won a $500 prize at the Institute (TIME, Nov. 3), in 1938 came in third in the Carnegie International's popularity contest. It's an eight-foot picture of a decayed and time-cracked surface, on which detail swarms like ants...
George Price's veneration for highbrow art goes back to his early infancy, when he lived near the late U.S. realist and cowboy painter Pop Hart in Coytesville, N.J. Price never went near an art school. He worked for General Electric as an inspector of soldering, did odd layout jobs in printing offices, finally landed with a poster and theatrical scenery outfit where he painted backdrops for vaudeville houses. In 1927, he went to Paris, spent four months drawing. After he got back to the U.S. he crashed The New Yorker with a $30 cartoon, has been cartooning ever...
