...National Foreign Trade Council but reprinted from U.S. News & World Report an interview with Iowa Corn Farmer Roswell Garst, who played host to Khrushchev during the Soviet Chairman's U.S. visit last September. Garst's frank talk about Russian agriculture (still primitive by U.S. standards) and Khrushchev (rough, tough and cruel, but "not all black") got by untouched...

From 1911 to 1915, Modigliani was profoundly influenced by Cubist distortion of the human form, and most of his drawings from this period are unsatisfying. In oil paint, the vigor of his rough and somewhat arbitrary compositions is easily expressed but soft and hard graphite pencil on a thin, flexible paper cannot imbue them with the necessary conviction.
