...heads, voluptuously ballooning figures, forms locked within other forms like embryos inside wombs or heads inside helmets. But these similarities aside, Henry Moore's latest sculptures show him much changed since his last Manhattan show in 1954. His surfaces are rougher, his figures more ungainly, and almost every trace of his former elegance appears to have vanished. This may or may not be progress, but it is still a logical progression. Moore is such a consistent artist that every step he takes flows naturally from the one before...
...home, he made his first break at seven. He escaped a Borstal institution for delinquents in his teens, and during World War II learned the art of camouflage as an army deserter. His first headline break came after his conviction for the safe job (Scotland Yard has yet to trace $90,000 worth of stolen jewelry). After Alfie slipped through locked doors and over a 20-ft. wall at Nottingham Prison, he became known as "Houdini" Hinds, spent eight happy months on the loose in Europe and Ireland, where he had set up shop as a builder-decorator when...

...cited as an example Natural Sciences 4, to be given again in 1962-3 by Leonard K. Nash '39, professor of Chemistry. Although the core of Nat Sci 4 is chemistry rather than history, an effort is made to trace the historical development of chemical theories and methods. "The historical approach has not been given up," Finley asserted, "but it is no longer central...
