...report itself glosses over many of the harsh criticisms which have been leveled against the HSA. While admitting that many of the agency directors "could not be called needy in any sense of the term," it offers no plan to correct this, but merely suggests that the practice stop. The policy of having agency directors pick their own successors with a rubber stamp approval from the board of directors is mentioned, but there follows no discussion of the possible harmful implications of this procedure. No attempt is made to evaluate the high prices of such groups as the milk...
...Editor Cranston Jones, who has won two American Institute of Architects' awards (Saarinen cover; Edward D. Stone cover, March 31, 1958), and designed by Gyorgy Kepes, M.I.T.'s Professor of Visual Design, Form Givers at Mid-Century opens this week at Washington's Corcoran Gallery, first stop on a nationwide tour.

Last week the popular Rural Self-Help scheme, which gives villagers essentials such as nails, cement and simple tools so that they themselves can build schools, roads and small dams, had ground to a stop because U.S. funds had run out.

Nowadays he finds that it is easier to sell modern music to lay audiences than to musicians: "Most musicians stop with Debussy; that's the last 'new' music they learned to play...
What happens to very old writers when they stop writing? In the case of W. Somerset Maugham, now 85, he just goes right on writing. Over the past ten years he has regularly announced his retirement, and now he once more informs the world that his new book, Points of View, is "absolutely my last." A few critics will hope he means it; in longhair circles the old storyteller has almost never been ranked above a sound literary carpenter. Yet few professional writers can honestly say that they do not envy his easy style, his civilized yarner's gift...
