Eleven industries, employing in 1947 about 7% of Minnesota's industrial labor, would be hurt by tariff reduction, the committee decided. Only three of the smallest of these would suffer serious damage. Some of the state's leather glove and belt manufacturers would be hard hit by foreign competition, and imports of cheap foreign china could cripple the pro duction of pottery, one of the principal industries of Red Wing...
NATO's smallest ally, Iceland, last week asked its biggest partner to go home. The Icelandic Althing (Parliament) passed a resolution urging the withdrawal of all foreign troops, meaning the 5,000 U.S. soldiers and airmen who have been stationed in unarmed Iceland-at its own request-since 1951. Pulling out would deprive the U.S. of an important early-warning radar establishment halfway between New York and Moscow, and the strategic $100 million Keflavik air base, where a squadron of F-89s is stationed...
...expelled sophomores, stating that "in the present case, the dismission was for a time, wholly indefinite."

Internationally respected El Tiempo reappeared as El Intermedia (Interlude), and El Espectador as El Inde-pendiente. In makeup, typography and content, down to the smallest detail, both papers were identical with their forerunners. Such transparent disguise presumably meant that Strongman Rojas, smarting under criticism, was willing to let them start up again with only a legalistic switch in names to get him off the hook. But censorship went right...
...bright young proconsuls of the advance guard, Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, added to this pattern of approach a breathtaking fervency and single-mindedness. Following Clausewitz' formula for successful military attack, they concentrated all the forces they could muster on the smallest possible problem: to express what they happened to be feeling in the process of painting. The results were huge canvases excitedly smeared, spattered, daubed, dribbled and gobbed with color in the shape of freewheeling overall designs, as if the artists had been playing with paints and got carried away. They were not as formless and unconsidered...
