...Fruits & Flowers." Not only in Le Pot but all over Belgium, people were excitedly thrashing out the question of whether the King-tall, blond Leopold-Philippe -Charles -Albert -Meinrad -Huber-tus-Marie-Miguel of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, otherwise known as Leopold III-should come back from exile to resume the throne. It is the overriding issue in the June 26 elections, and by last week the campaign was hot and ferocious. The Christian Social Party (Catholic) favored Leopold's return.

Bing had been met that March night by Manager Johnson and a little knot of gracious but sharp-eyed Met directors. They apparently liked what they saw: a tall, fastidious man of 47, with charm and a manner of quick, cool decision. At lunch next day, they raised a question: would he consider leaving Glyndebourne and his great Edinburgh Festival (TIME, Sept. 20) to succeed retiring General Manager Johnson in 1950?

Cummings and his tall, black-haired wife (whom Photographer Edward Steichen once called "the most beautiful model in New York") spend their winters in Patchen Place, a tree-lined Greenwich Village alley, and their summers at Silver Lake, N.H., where most of the poet's paintings are conceived. At 54 he is a wry, wiry Yankee with the gentle discursiveness and cracker-barrel wit of a farmer taking his ease at the store. Writing about his own mild, middle-of-the-road paintings in the current Art News, Cummings sideswiped most of his fellow artists, abstractionists and realists alike...
