Americans who have a feeling for the blues can understand the spirit of the fado, but you ain't really been blue till you've felt the fado...
Although Johnson has tried to get in a daily nap and a swim, he often gets so involved with his duties that he just forgets. The Panama crisis (see THE HEMISPHERE) kept him up till 3:30 one morning last week, and he was up again at 6:45 a.m. He turned in at 1:30 the following morning-and again got up before 7.

The Tate did not succeed in winning its complete autonomy from the National Gallery until 1955, and it had to wait till after World War II for annual government grants, still a pittance at $112,000 a year, to buy works...
