...stirred by rumors of a big U. S. gangland war. Prospective war zone: the operative territory of famed Racketeer Jack ("Legs") Diamond. This territory begins in Brooklyn, N. Y., where henchmen of Diamond and Charles ("Vannie") Higgins are blamed for periodic battles with gangs reputed to be led by Angelo ("Little Augie") Pisano, heir to the eminence of the late Frankie Yale (TIME, July 9, 1928).

An ever-unfinished undertaking for a tomb...
...work, even my ways. ... In 1925 some friends wanted to take me to that monstrous display of bad taste . . . the International Exhibition of Decorative Art. They said to me, 'You'll see . . . that it is you who are responsible for all that architecture. . . .' Imagine Michael Angelo coming to dine with friends and being welcomed with the words, 'We have just ordered a very beautiful Renaissance sideboard inspired by your Moses.' Think of Michael Angelo's face. . . . Some try to turn Cubism into a kind of physical culture. ... I try to paint what I have...
