...Ryder Cup golf team: its fourth straight victory in the biennial match-play tournament with British pros, scoring 191 points in 32 matches; at Southport, England. Ahead 9-7 after the two-ball and four-ball foursomes, the ten-man U.S. team smashed through the singles, taking ten and halving one of 16 matches, with Arnold Palmer clinching the tournament by stroking an 18th-hole eagle to beat his opponent's birdie-and dazzle an army that included Prime Minister Harold Wilson...
...World, the Met has just a few things begging to find wall space there. Among its U.S. painting treasures, rarely seen together for lack of gallery space, are 37 Sargents, 22 Gilbert Stuarts, 15 Homers, eleven Copleys, eight Cassatts, seven paintings each by Eakins, Childe Hassam, Ryder, Benjamin West and Whistler, six each by Thomas Cole, Arthur Dove and the Peale brothers, five each by George Bellows, Albert Bierstadt and John Sloan...
...peak, that the U.S. asserted itself strongly on the international stage.

He could paint a game of croquet or a scene in Central Park with such feathery charm that these common, everyday scenes hardly seemed to come from reality. He painted innumerable nudes in all sorts of settings, and they all look as if he had made up the anatomy as he went...
Inness was a frail epileptic who had only one month's formal training in his life; yet he was, along with Homer, Eakins, and Ryder, one of the few great painters in the U.S. in his day. He was a master of catching the subtle whims of nature, and he could bathe the most or dinary scene in poetry. While more fashionable colleagues strained for panoramas -the vast valleys and rugged mountain chains of a newly self-conscious America -Inness was quite satisfied to paint whatever lay just beyond his own backyard.
