Apparently Mr. McHale had charted last week as "Be-Kind-To-Liberals-Week," for in seven days Mr. McNutt spoke in Lakeland, Fla., in Washington (to the pinko National Lawyers Guild), and to the Janizariat at the Cosmos-each time advocating broad-based, New Deal reform views...

Year later his classicism came to a violent end with his painting, The Three Dancers (see cut), which left not one line...
...FORTUNE have long admired its lively, accurate maps, which by skillful use of color and three-dimensional perspective make a country jut up from the printed page as though it were in relief. Wiry, kinetic Richard Edes Harrison, their maker, drifted into cartography via scientific and architectural training and seven years of industrial design. Last week an exhibition of his maps went on display at Yale University...
