...later Klees in the exhibit avoid histrionics, as their subject matter is relegated to a whimsical leitmotif, subordinated to the wholly poetic studies in color and shape. This latter group incidentally has long represented Klee in exhibitions of the so-called French school. They are works whose universal qualities transcend the mannerisms of any one idiom. It is perhaps this individualism which makes it so difficult to categorize a "French School" despite the heavy concentration of modern painters from that country...

...reason for not granting him a parole. It is quite obvious that Leopold would long ago have been released if he had not participated in the "Crime of the Century," and if his parole would not raise a public clamor.

But to millions of superstitious Hindus, the sadhus, good and bad, are potent miracle workers who transcend the laws of men. Three months ago, when the beardless holy man who called himself Baba Raghubaranand arrived in Mokhim-pur, established himself without a by-your-leave in the best house in the village and promptly went into a trance when its occupants asked where they themselves could...
