...Fascism exhibition which the Congress held along with its Carnegie Hall session last December, last week's show emphasized quality. Sculptor William Zorach's Football Player, a lineman relaxed on his haunches, impressed critics as one of the few successful handlings to date of that oddly difficult subject. Artist Marc Perper's Poverty was an unusually solid work of imagination. On the doctrinal side, Stuart Davis contributed a hopeful catalogue note on Democracy...
Last week Arthur Leroy Bairnsfather of Birmingham, Ala. could not get over his surprise at what had happened down in Montgomery. A big, bushy-haired artist who once studied under Frank Duveneck (TIME, April 25), Mr. Bairnsfather never goes far afield for his subjects.

Last fortnight the New England Journal of Medicine printed an article on this useful subject, by Boston's Dr. Edward Benson Benedict, whose experience confirmed Dr. Ruddock's-that with a peritoneoscope he can make an accurate diagnosis of ailments within the abdomen in almost every case, whereas clinical diagnosis scores only 64%. However, peritoneoscopists will not risk prying into an inflamed abdomen...
