...sent me a clipping from your paper of April 21 containing a libellous statement about me; saying, "He (I) attracted no little attention by running amuck and shooting his butler." That is an unqualified lie. The man was an English mechanic who I discovered, was a most brutal wife beater. A friend told me of it and I told the friend to have his wife tell Gillard that the next time he beat her, to come over here ["The Merry Mills," Cobham Va.] with her flock of children and I'd put her and them up at two farm...
...private view the day before opening. They danced to the music of mandolins and guitars in the dignified Grand Central premises. They drank tea and other liquids. They smoked cigarets in modernist defiance of signs that read "No Smoking." Some of them ranged themselves earnestly around "Egg Beater No 5," a thoroughly modernistic creation by Modernist Stuart Davis, and had their photograph taken. It was the biggest event in the campaign to modernize U. S. art since the Armory Show of 1913, in which several of the same artists were represented. Now the modernists were and are in control...
...Suspicious." The executive committee of the Amateur Athletic Union sitting in conclave in the Woolworth Building, Manhattan, dwelt on the word. They were talking about Stanislaw Petkiewicz, Polish runner, beater of Paavo Nurmi, who had asked for permission to run in U. S. meets (TIME, Dec. 30).

...social and political unrest. José de Creeft, sculptor, is no exception. Born in Guadalajara, he studied in Barcelona and has been an art-rebel since his early days. He shocked and amused Paris with his many sculptural stunts: a picador astride, concocted with stovepipes, pot scrapers, an egg beater, some fuzz and the lid of a pan; a statue of a cat and a woman made into one (called La Femme-Chatte), and a wire ostrich. His taille directe method (the cutting of a sculpture directly from its material without rehearsals in clay- "the releasing of the form from...
...absolute rout by Nationalist & Mohammedan General Pai Chung-hsi, who took 20,000 prisoners, and barely missed capturing Polygamist Chang as he fled to Manchuria. Rejoicing was general, for Chang Tsung-chang is brutal, a thief, a sadist who loves to lash his prisoners, an old-woman-beater and a young-woman-despoiler, a murderer, treacherous, outrageous, godless (TIME, March 7, 1927). But, as Columnist Brisbane remarked, Chang Tsung-chang has "verve"; and 20 wives and concubines have not rendered him "anemic." As such he looms a potent Hearst hero...
