...TIME'S Man of the Year (the criterion, as always, was news impact not moral worth). Since no adequate color photograph was available, TIME had to settle for a rather innocuous picture of Hitler in khaki. Brooding over this, Ingersoll replaced it at the last minute with a lithograph of Hitler playing a devil's organ from which hung his naked victims. Luce was displeased at such heavy-handed propaganda, but told Ingersoll : "Spilt milk-let's not discuss...

Ave. between Plympton and Linden Streets, carries one of the best collections of reproductions of prints and paintings.

So it was only natural that when the manager of the Hamburger Aussenwerbung ad agency saw that scabrous lithograph, Painter and His Model, by Marc Chagall, he flatly refused to handle it as a poster for the Chagall exhibition at the Kunsthaus Center. Unless Kunsthaus Director Eylert Spars would let him paste a paper ribbon across the model's breasts. Spars sighed, and instead of posting his 800 posters...
