Irving J. Levine, tight-lipped president of K & L Beverage Co., told how he and Beck sweet-talked St. Louis' Anheuser-Busch into giving Levine's company the sole distributorship of Budweiser in Seattle, and later in other areas of Beck's domain of Washington and Alaska. Then, said Levine, Dave Beck Jr. and a partner each put up $24,500 for a total of 49% interest in K & L, and Dave Jr. became vice president of the company. Two years later, Mrs. Dave Beck Sr. paid Levine $40,000 for a 40% interest...

...indeed paradoxical that Kurt Schwitters, representing the Dada school, created in contemptuous revolt against established canons of aesthetics, should appear at Busch-Reisinger this month as a champion of those very values. Gathering bits and scraps of color and print in the form of collages, Schwitters manipulates a poetic play of shape and hue, charming, intimate, yet positive and aesthetically unequivocal. Paul Klee's lithograph, "Destruction and Hope," not his best in that form, sings out with more hope than destruction because it contains more poetry than pathos...
