...portrait painter in Paris, Varda had already switched to collage when he came to the U.S. in 1939. Much of his work was based on the idea that each picture should be remembered for one major color and contain just enough of another to accent the dominant shade...
...Your characterization of my belief that only price and wage controls will reconcile decently high employment with reasonably stable prices as the "voice of despair" [Dec. 14] is just a shade reminiscent of the bad, old, tendentious TIME. I've long felt that the age of Keynes is over, that strong unions and powerful corporations have insured that fiscal and monetary policy along the old and comfortable lines, will no longer serve.

Rightly but a shade too formally, some Bostonians called him "the Cardinal of Charity." That he was; and for it, both Catholics and non-Catholics in the U.S. honored Cushing with an affection exceeded only by their love for Pope John XXIII. The affection followed him everywhere, but nowhere did it surround him more warmly than on his visit to the annual Christmas party at St. Coletta's, an institution for "exceptional" children he founded in Hanover, Mass...
