...extraordinary breadth and variety of the exhibition made the unmistakable point that creative people vary, and that when they get the chance to create according to their own lights, they will produce variety and vitality along with a broad range of quality, from awful to wonderful. If the show made that point to the Russians, whose own official art amounts to hack illustrations of a deadly sameness, the U.S. might well rest content...
Nowhere did American freedom of thought have greater impact than in the presence of the show's contentious curator, Manhattan Art Dealer Edith Gregor Halpert. Last month Mrs. Halpert had said some harsh things about Eisenhower's reservations concerning the exhibition ("Some people think the President's paintings aren't so good either. It's like Truman saying modern art resembles ham and eggs"). One Soviet critic jeeringly asked her what had happened to the woman who criticized the President's judgment. "I am that woman," she said.

Reporting the figures last week, the Commerce Department warned the U.S. to expect several more months of trade imbalance. In 1959 the U.S. will show an export surplus, but just barely. Exports, which dropped from a record $19.5 billion in 1957 to $16.3 billion last year, will slide to an estimated $16 billion. Imports will go up from $12.8 billion to about $15 billion...
