...Humber rolled through London's darkened back streets, flashing headlights to warn police of its approach. It stopped opposite the Victorian pile of the Museum of Natural History, where another car waited. A slim, feminine figure in a red cossack hat and pale, loose coat, and carrying a yellow hatbox, jumped out of the waiting car and got into Eden's car. As the door closed, Clarissa Eden opened the hatbox, took out a small cushion and tucked it behind her husband's head. From a following car, newsmen could see Eden's head roll tiredly...
Sobering afterthoughts were two other exhibitions staged by the Corcoran. In one salon were hung 24 past winners, ranging from little-known Willard L. Metcalf's moonlit May Night to John Hult-berg's Yellow Sky (TIME, May 2, 1955), and including Childe Hassam, George Bellows and Edward Hopper.

In two or three days, the yellow-fronted shop did as much business as others in the neighborhood handled in a year...

He hisses a greeting with all the ineffable politeness of an old-school Japanese. Who is he? Mr. Moto, of course, back in print after a 15-year absence owing to a slight unpleasantness between the U.S. and Japan. Author Marquand created his serial agent in the 19305 after a trip to the Orient, and it is strange to meet Moto again, now that Marquand is so much better known for his travels through New England and Suburbia...
