...matters, awaiting the next round of the tax fight. Ways and Means Chairman Mills has consented to new hearings this week on the Administration's proposal for a surcharge, but the outlook for passage remains bleak. Even if Mills relents in his personal opposition to the measure, the sentiment in the House is now over whelmingly negative. Many in Congress believe that Johnson has been "cooking the books," as they say in the House of Commons, in order to make his spending and deficit forecasts seem smaller than they will actually turn out to be. Mills insists that...
Pragmatism & Sentiment. Agnew and McCall are liberals and longtime Rockefeller buffs; they were merely repeating their well-known views. But Congressman John Ashbrook of Ohio, a conservative who was one of Barry Goldwater's earliest supporters before the last election, talked out of pragmatism rather than sentiment.

Andrew Carnegie was uneasily convinced that "the man who dies rich dies disgraced," and to avoid that humiliation, he began investing a personal estate of $400 million in the public weal. In 1911, after twelve years of uninterrupted and unprecedented generosity, he still had $150 million left. Carnegie solved the problem by establishing the Carnegie Corporation of New York and endowing it with...
...Detroit Institute of Arts (see color pages). "British Masterpieces," which will be shown at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, pays little more than lip service to the aristocratic portrait and the studied landscape, the established prides and prejudices of English art. Instead, the era's sense and sentiment is often best il lustrated by the casual sketch, the minor masterwork by the relative unknown...
