...acquaintances in the theater for fear of compromising his integrity. (He met Katharine Cornell and Thornton Wilder for the first time at his party.) A demanding but undogmatic critic, Massachusetts-born, Harvard-educated ('17) Atkinson writes his views in pencil in a neat hand on a ruled yellow pad. Against one of journalism's toughest deadlines-he usually has barely an hour to catch an edition after the first-night curtain falls-he sends his polished copy through in one-paragraph "takes." When a review is finished, he reads the proof but seldom changes a word...
...Kiss Goodbye. The bright yellow bus, with 46 pupils aboard, was bound for the elementary and high schools in nearby Prestonsburg. There was nothing unusual about the morning beyond cloudy skies, or about the bus and its journey. At about 7 o'clock Driver Jack Derossett, 27, started his usual route through the 75-family coal-mining town of Cow Creek, picked up his regular riders on schedule. Seconds before he was due, for example, James Goble, 12, John, 11, and Anna Laura, 9, the three children of Cow Creek Storekeeper James B. Goble, scooped up their books, kissed...

Panicky survivors swarmed across the Malecón, careless...

There are no night people depositing their yellow sheaves of paper at the Kirkland Street door slot. The authors are scattered about the nation, most of them belonging to an older generation. Audience, despite its opening editorial protestations, is just another little magazine. If there are too few in Cambridge, there are too many in America--from Washington Square to North Beach...
...Lucretia and a Modigliani portrait, Trevor-Roper went on to examine other artists affected by eye diseases. Cézanne's myopia may be the reason, he said, for Cézanne's blur. Monet suffered from cataract, which caused his greens to become more yellow, his blues more purple. Constable may not have realized how brown his trees appeared to normal vision because he was colorblind. "A fuzziness or what art historians would call "breadth,' " he went on, is the weakness of eyes that comes with age, and "is very apparent in the latest paintings...
