...years the late Werner Heldt was called "the Utrillo of Berlin," a tag that enraged him all the more because it was based on the shallow observation that both he and Utrillo painted city streets. Both also drank. Yet that deprecatory comparison was about the measure of Heldt's renown at the time of his death seven years ago. This week Heldt is enjoying a sudden spurt of fame as the key figure of a new, nonabstract "Berlin School." The critical applause comes from a show in Wiesbaden of the collection of rich Machine-tool Maker Kurt Brandes...

...recoiled from the first experience of its immensity and climate: January temperatures plummet to 100° below, while August temperatures soar to 120° above. Nature shaped the land with a grim hand.

Her mother (Constance Ford), fearing that the poor child will come a-sharecropper, advises her to marry a rich man (Claude...
...Sudden death," even from a massive heart attack or in shock on the operating table, is not really sudden. After the heart stops, there may be a few last, shallow breaths. The brain lives on for five or six minutes, and perhaps longer under some conditions. In Moscow last week, at the Fifth International Congress on Biochemistry, Soviet investigators reported new findings about the dying brain, and new means of bringing the "dead" back to life...
