...Philip Murray (1886-1952) was a Roman Catholic born to a poor Scotch-Irish coal-mining family in Scotland, helped found the C.I.O. in 1935 and was president from 1940 until his death. His window is dedicated to industrial and social reform-Israelites in bondage; the prophet Amos warning his people; Onesimus, the runaway slave the Apostle Paul sent back to his master as a brother in Christ...
...Koekoeks Duin (Cuckoo's Dune) when Loudon bought it five years ago, it is hung with tapestries and paintings (among them a self-portrait of the young Rembrandt), stocked with old editions, and graced with an icebox liquor cabinet hidden behind a fake bookshelf (Loudon's drink: Scotch and soda). He is an excellent dancer, likes to golf (in the 90s), spent a week last winter skiing in Switzerland with his wife and two of his sons, Fred, 22, and George, 17. Loudon's third son, John 24, has followed his father into Shell. (His oldest...
...readers of U.S. magazine ads, Great Britain is a land of rare roast beef and rich Stilton cheese, fox hunts and elegant cars, castles and thatched cottages. It is peopled by snobby, sophisticated men who wear tweeds, raincoats and aloof looks. They drink only tea, Scotch, sherry, or gin and tonic.

So charged the London Economist last week in a critique of U.S. efforts to sell Britain and its wares. "The image that emerges." said the Economist...
...jammed straight up against the pictures they came to view, are a regular feature of the booming Manhattan art season. But few had seen the like of Robert Beverly Hale's opening at Manhattan's Staempfli Gallery last week. His show began selling out* before the first Scotch spilled, remained a pandemonium long after the caterer's bar had closed. It was his first one-man show in Manhattan; were it his last, he would have achieved a lasting fame. The artist, a stooped and apparently quizzical Yankee aristocrat, 59 luxurious years old, was so moved that...
Good drawing has declined tremendously in recent years, because if anyone draws well he is attacked as being sentimental or anecdotal. The result is that many teachers cannot draw well and neither can their pupils. Therefore they are doomed to create what I call geometrical or biological abstractions-Scotch plaid or turkey-dinner paintings." Hale's own drawings look rather like Rorschach tests that the doctor never thought of. Using India ink and a very long brush, Hale sketches in the shadows of ideas. These blotlike shadows have sensitivity and boldness-a happy combination-but what do they signify...
