...blasted the Republicans from stem to stern. He did not propose, he said, to make "political capital out of the President's illness." But he attacked Eisenhower as a weak President "cynically coveted [by the Republicans] as a candidate but ignored as a leader." In an oblique thrust at Nixon, he said that if he and Kefauver are elected "and it is God's will that I do not serve my full four years, the people will have a new President they can trust...
...Bluebell and Primrose," as its passengers fondly called it, was just the kind of road that progress passes by. London was only 50 miles to the northwest, but no factory chimneys thrust their way above the quiet countryside to give the railway a new excuse for existence. Soon a few forlorn trains, carrying in all an average of four passengers a day, were all that was left of the once profitable road.

Their pilots had come from 25 countries for the fifth postwar international gliding championships...
...pretty religious pictures that are all too common in church papers, church meeting rooms and ministers' offices, says Tillich, are "dangerously irreligious, and they are something against which everybody who understands the situation of our time has to fight." Against them he puts paintings that attempt to thrust the viewer face to face with reality, 16th century Matthias Grünewald's famed Crucifixion on the Isenheim altar ("I believe it is the greatest German picture ever painted"). Modern existentialism in art, he says, begins with Cézanne and penetrates to "the depths of reality" in pictures...
