...your April 18 article on combine-maker Robert Rauschenberg in 1948 a youth hosteler in our pension in Paris had purchased a ticket for a performance of the Paris Opera, not realizing that it was a strictly formal affair. She, in a very real sense, had "nothing to wear" for this sort of occasion...
...debate was well worth the wear and tear. Beyond the wild alarums of the critics and President Eisenhower's smug claim of last January that he knew more about defense than anybody else, it engendered some long-overdue rethinking of U.S. defense policies. For one thing, the Administration finally made up its mind to concentrate on an array of offensive missiles and bombers, and to chuck expensive defensive systems (TIME, April 18).

...Much Torture. To confidence is added concentration. "Sometimes during a tournament," says Palmer, "I see Winnie and don't even know it's Winnie."

The self-condemning new voung monarch is suddenly self-reformed, is indeed a little holier-than-thou, and a great deal royaler, as he moves forward toward what, in Henry V, will be Shakespeare...
...readers of U.S. magazine ads, Great Britain is a land of rare roast beef and rich Stilton cheese, fox hunts and elegant cars, castles and thatched cottages. It is peopled by snobby, sophisticated men who wear tweeds, raincoats and aloof looks. They drink only tea, Scotch, sherry, or gin and tonic. Such is Madison Avenue's image of Great Britain, and to many an Englishman it is "offensive and often unimpressive." So charged the London Economist last week in a critique of U.S. efforts to sell Britain and its wares. "The image that emerges." said the Economist...
