...name Holbein in the Anglo-Saxon world immediately suggests the chunky, bearded younger Hans, favorite portraitist of Henry VIII and immortalizer of Tudor aristocracy. Actually there were four famed German Holbeins: Hans the father, Uncle Sigismund, Brothers Hans and Ambrosius. All of them were famed painters, would have left a deep mark on the history of painting if young Hans had never thought of going to England...

Republicans who have long sneered at the Roosevelt "brain trust" may be spared some embarrassment by their nominee's tactful word-juggling in referring to his helpers, but the fact remains that he, no less than Franklin Roosevelt in 1932, has been compelled to acknowledge that a Presidential program for the modern U.
