...regression in this general trend is the shelf that even now creeps from the Coop, over Albiani's towards Church Street. The Square's better (liberal progressive twentieth century) half can still triumph over its reactionary rival, though, if it makes the Shelf functional and therefore gloriously modern. Let's make it a nesting place for local pigeons. Or let's run up a block and tackle and turn it into a parking place for motorscooters.

...Harvard football team, remembering last year's 54-0 loss at New Haven, was somewhat amused by Olivar's complaint, for Yale has never been known to call off its agents while they were in the process of inflicting humiliation on a traditional rival...

His most ambitious pictures are sometimes the least successful, being too finicky and insistent. But Roasted Chestnuts bids fair to rival Wyeth's famed Young America (TIME, July 16, 1951) as a national icon. Young America shows a boy in G.I. castoffs riding a gaudy bicycle across a limitless plain. Roasted Chestnuts gives new depth to the romance. It looks like the same boy, grown to gangly youth. He stands light...
