...Paul Klee is an artist who needs no post-scripts or excuses. His touch may become a trifle too casual at times but it never loses its integrity. Its poetry is always there to dwarf the importance of titles and methods. In short, his work stands of its own strength. A comparison of Klee's work with a wall of Kandinskys opposite, is a course in aesthetics all by itself. The similarities involved are sufficiently tangible to have linked the names of Klee and Kandinsky in the public eye. The differences, however, are more significant. Klee is the depth...
...expect to spend our lives within the confines of a library stall. In short it is a glorification of the academic mind, and however nice it is to see every man have his day, there are those--probably a majority--of "our generation" who can muster at least some strength to deal with the issues of living in a community. There is a lot to be said for the assertion that the self holds less interest for others than do issues which affect everyone.

...Enemies. In November, Williams will be up against ten-term Congressman Robert Winthrop Kean (rhymes with pane), 64, the Republican winner.

The tobacco-chewing "Squire of Haw River" (where he ran a 200-head dairy farm) drew his political strength from the rural vote, solidified his farm popularity during his term as governor by pushing through a bond issue that financed the paving of 14,810 miles of rural roads, chivied power companies until they strung 21,000 miles of new electric lines. Liberal Scott thought North Carolina was "shortchanging...
After beating Brown, 4 to 3, on only four hits Wednesday, the team would seem scheduled for another outburst of batting strength. For this it relies on captain Bob Clearly, Mo Balboni, Frank Saia, and Kent Hathaway. But against pitchers like Belz or Seaman, the Crimson offense will undergo its acid test...
