...strike laymen as being neither better nor worse than the rest, won this year's top prize. Insisted Director McKinney: "The finest picture in the whole show." It was a sodden, ragged and barren landscape under a strawberry-tinted sky, done by a soft-spoken 32-year-old Virginian named Mitchell Jamieson. To Painter Jamieson, in Paris last week on a Guggenheim Fellowship to study European masters, the news hit the spot. "I planned on going to an art exhibition with my wife this afternoon," he said when he was asked about it, "but now I guess...
...from Virginia. Lanky, red-haired Bob Garst is all newspaperman; marriage, remarked a friend last week, is about his only hobby (his wife used to edit the Times's letters column). A Virginian, Garst first worked for the Times as a morgue clerk while studying at Columbia's School of Journalism ('24).

So it seemed, also, to Gettysburg Housewife Sallie Broadhead, as she watched Lee's vanguard outside her house. The Southerners were "a miserable-looking set" of alien monsters with a "traitor's flag" who pranced barefoot...
...thus violate the antitrust and interstate commerce laws. For another, "the applicants have not shown that either public or private interests will not be adversely affected." ICC reckoned that half a dozen other railroads-and therefore the public -would have been harmed. Example: Frank D. Beale, president of the Virginian Railway Co., wailed that a C. & O.-Central link would just about choke off his road...
