...theme. Among them, in literature, have been Novelist Graham Greene and Poet T. S. Eliot. In music, such composers as Igor Stravinsky and Francis Poulenc (TIME, Nov. 27) have attempted the awesome task of setting the Mass to modern music. In painting, the record shows outcroppings of the same deep impulse...
...impulse is wide as well as deep. One of the most interesting exhibitions of 1950 was the Vatican's assembly of art drawn from 600 mission centers around the world. Among the finest sculptures in the show (TIME, Aug. 14) were sere oriental Madonnas from Korea and India, a dark Madonna and Child from Africa.

...searches out the other voices with mobile recording units. From 1½ hours of interviews in Koto, Murrow & Friendly culled a 21-second spot for Hear It Now: for other stories. CBS network stations sent mobile units up to the Canadian border and deep into the backwoods of South Carolina. Shying away from the musical "stings" that usually embellish radio documentaries, Hear It Now employs instead such topflight composers as David Diamond and Lehman Engel to supply unobtrusive incidental music...
