...hope that all of you who have access to a television set have seen some or all of the eleven episodes of Crusade in Europe that have now been telecast in the U.S. As you know from my Letter in the March 14 issue, the MARCH OF TIME made this documentary film of General Dwight Eisenhower's best-selling book, Crusade in Europe, at the request of 20th Century-Fox, which had bought the television rights from the publishers, Doubleday & Co. It is being telecast in 26 weekly episodes by the American Broadcasting Co., and TIME and LIFE...
Freshman on the Floor. In response to Taft's alarms, the Senate was treated to as remarkable a show by a freshman as it had seen in many a year.

Mounted in the center of a spacious reflecting pool was the latest work of Swedish Sculptor Carl Milles, a magnificent, larger-than-life Pegasus.

Soaring precariously above was the horse's 1,000-lb. bronze rider, Greek adventurer Bellerophon (see cut), with arms outstretched and nine stout bolts through one foot...
...done: "Greek and other artists always depicted Pegasus with the rider on his back, while I visualize the poet flying independently . . . both animal and man having expressions of longing for something, we don't know what . . ." A few visitors called Pegasus the most improbable thing they had ever seen in their lives; many more gasped in sheer admiration...
