Charges that the new budget was "political" made scant sense in view of the strenuous arguments by some of the President's own Cabinet members that, in the mood of the times, taking a stand on a balanced budget is politically unprofitable (see Republicans). More to the point were the charges by New-Dealish Democrats that, in pushing for a balanced budget, the President was neglecting home-front welfare jobs that needed doing. But implicit in such complaints was an assumption that Dwight Eisenhower explicitly rejects: the assumption that it is the Federal Government's duty to take...
...Poor to Bow. In achieving all of this, De Gaulle has once again confounded his critics. Few statesmen of his time have been so consistently misunderstood. Joseph Stalin, in a moment of exceptional obtuseness, dismissed him as "not complicated." Franklin Roosevelt shared the view of him held by British Novelist H. G.

Modern science's view of antimatter as oddly charged particles that disappear on contact with matter has some connection, Dali thinks, with the medievalists' view of angels, which could light in hosts upon the point of a pin. His new canvas relates to both concepts. Seen close, it does dissolve into pure abstraction-as abstract, say, as the goings-on in a physicist's cloud chamber...
