...ended last week the four-month mental marathon that had accomplished the transformation of an egghead into a TV darling (TIME, Feb. 11 et seq.). By failing to name Belgium's King Baudouin, Van Doren lost the game on NBC's Twenty One to Mrs. Vivienne Nearing, a blonde barrister who had tied him for two weeks running. The loss shaved Van Doren's take from $143,000 to $129,000, still the largest prize ever awarded on any single program.

Actually Goya's "Disasters of War," certainly more graphic than anything here, or Picasso's "Guernica," more symbolic and abstract than anything here, answer an emphatic no. For if Barlach, Kollwitz, Grosz, et al, utter an emotional cry from the blackness of chaos and confusion, it is Picasso and Goya who offer, with emotion disciplined. "right" and "inevitable," an answer which cannot help being true...
