...living artist, now held by Pablo Picasso, whose 75th-birthday showing at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art drew 328,206 visitors in 16 weeks in 1957.* Before the Whitney opening last week, Wyeth trekked up from his native Chadds Ford, Pa. (pop. 140), dressed in a pinstripe suit, and fielded the big-city critics' questions. What did he feel about op and pop? "Very exciting. It's today." Was his own art pertinent to the times? "I don't know. It's pertinent to me." Why did he paint nature scenes all the time...
Cloistered Eliot House has only one entrance. The House Committee has to struggle each year to obtain Finley's permission to leave open a gate leading to Memorial Drive. The main archway is guarded, fittingly enough, by a superintendent in a three-piece suit with a gold watch fob.

Their letters and statements have been moderate and restrained, delicately balanced and qualified. In appearances at press conferences--pipe-smoking and neatly groomed, in striped tie or three-piece suit--they have carried the image of responsibility and reasonableness across the national networks...
Williams first made major news in 1953 by winning the first successful libel suit against Columnist Drew Pearson ($50,000 for former Assistant Attorney General Norman Littell). As his reputation grew, he constantly upbraided the Government for stooping to seamy means in order to conquer seamy defendants. He sprang Costello by showing that the U.S. prosecutor had secretly scanned the tax returns of 150 venire-men to get a "goldplated" jury in the gambler's tax trial. In the 1956 perjury trial of ex-OSS Lieutenant Aldo Icardi, who told a congressional subcommittee that he had not murdered...
