...absorbed in the U. S. scene is Artist Sloan that he has never left its boundaries. He and his miniature wife Dolly ("the little woman who has been my right hand man") spend their winters in Manhattan, their summers in New Mexico. Liked by everyone are Artist Sloan's portrayals of city life with its socks down: lean cats scavenging in a snowy back yard, a dust storm on Fifth Avenue, scrubwomen in a library, girls on a roof drying their hair, men lined up at a bar. Less liked are the strange, bright-colored nudes, hatched and crosshatched...

...sunset, a blast on the shofar (ram's horn) brought to a close the ten-day high holidays of the new Jewish year. To Congregation B'nai Sholaum in Brooklyn, N. Y., the first day's sun of year 5700* brought something new-a woman in the pulpit. Helen Hadassah Levinthal, comely in academic gown and four-pointed choir-singer's cap, preached at the three big holiday services, as near to being a rabbi as a female might be. Last summer, at Manhattan's Jewish Institute of Religion, she was the first woman anywhere...

...Gail knew all the answers and none of them was masculine. But when cocksure Bill Burnett (self-consciously cute Fred MacMurray) blew in from Bali like a tropical monsoon, scripters were hard put to it to keep him from thawing icy Gail too fast, convincing her too soon that woman's place is in the home when not in the maternity ward. Vainly trying to stave off this inevitable ending, they tossed in trim Noel Van Ness (Danish-born Cinemactress Osa Massen), also blown in from Bali and quite tropical too about Burnett. When that fails, the story just...

Like the old woman who lived in a shoe, the medical scientists who housekeep for vitamins have an unmanageable lot of charges. At present, for example, chemists believe that there are eight varieties of vitamin B, at least ten of D. One member of the vitamin B family is also known as vitamin G, another newcomer as factor Y. Two relatives of the C tribe are known as J and P. Most practical name-calling, so far as scientific convenience is concerned, would be to recognize each vitamin by its chemical name. Thus vitamin E would be known as alpha...
