...peace and happiness of mankind!" This is the 1936 keynote in the symphony of East Asia politics which Japan is trying to conduct. She sees herself as a newborn Britain of the 20th Century, so righteous and so strong that she can afford to be magnanimous in bearing the yellow man's burden. When Mr. Hirota in his speech last week replied to the State of the Union speech in which President Roosevelt clearly meant to excoriate Japan (TIME, Jan. 13), the words were Japanese but the tone was strongly reminiscent of such Victorian statesmen as Lord Palmerston...
Critics promptly hailed him as the greatest U. S. primitive painter since Pittsburgh's John Kane. There was much similarity in their work. Artist Hoyer, like Artist Kane, painted ingenuous landscapes of pink and yellow houses under cloudy skies with plenty of rich green trees. Also like Artist Kane, there was a great deal more shrewd technique in Artist Hoyer's paintings than appeared at first glance.

Romantically slim and handsome in his youth, Henry Hobson Richardson grew into a great bearded barrel of a man (see cut p. 29), proud of his wife and six children, his combined home and office, his vast capacity for champagne and the bright yellow vests he wore with evening clothes. Though he built several churches he was by no means a religious man. In fact at dinner one evening his good friend Phillips Brooks, rector of Boston's Trinity, was abashed to learn that Architect Richardson had never read the Bible. Architect Richardson promised to do so. started...
