Bonanza Year. In striding into its third century, St. Louis is demonstrating how powerful a stimulant to a city's pride both art and architecture can be come. Its arch has given the city a symbol recognizable round the world, and already its citizenry has rallied. Last month an out door exhibition of outstanding examples of such famous modern sculpture as Rodin's St. John the Baptist, a Calder stabile, and Bauhaus-Teacher Gerhard Marcks's Three Graces were set out against the background of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Many of the works came from private...
...aluminum industry is only a sacrificial symbol of Lyndon Johnson's wider war on inflation, which he feels he must wage to keep the economy healthy and to restore the balance of payments.

Friends bring food as a symbol of the inability of the bereaved to concern themselves with practical affairs. For eleven months sons are enjoined to say the prayers for the dead in the synagogue twice...
...reporter on the scene was busy trading rumor and theory. Last week an R.A.F. Canberra was called in to take aerial photographs of the grave sites. Newsmen promptly asked Detective Superintendent Arthur Benfield whether some kind of black cult could have buried its victims in a magic pattern or symbol, visible only from the air. "I like black magic," Benfield parried, "but they tend to make me put on weight." Black Magic is a well-known brand of English chocolates...
