Boston remains conservative. Ten years ago Artists Harley Perkins, Charles Hovey Pepper and Carl G. Cutler started a minor revolt against what they called the "Museum [of Fine Arts ] School" which was then turning out replicas of John Singer Sargent. The revolt sagged. Today Boston's best artist concerned with the contemporary U. S. scene is Molly Luce, wife of Alan Burroughs. X-ray art researcher for Harvard's Fogg Museum...
After okaying the galley proof, Editor Leach scribbled a headline: "The Revolt Against Crime." He clapped a hat over his thinning brown hair, slipped into a raincoat, picked up his umbrella, strode out of the Forum office and joined the late afternoon crowds hurrying along Manhattan's Lexington Avenue.

Spanish blood was up, Spanish honor at stake. Same afternoon, in the Cortes, Spain's No. 1 Catholic politician, Fascist...
Perhaps it was the influence of a pretty woman in the days when women were few in the Bay Colony, possibly it was Anne Hutchinson's reputation as the best mid-wife in New England, or it may have been a natural revolt from the overly-strict Calvinist doctrines of the Puritans that was responsible for the growth of a sect which was nearly successful in gaining control of the legislature. On that control rested the fate of Harvard, for learning was a thing to be abhorred as from the Devil. It could only lead to confusion, and, never having...
