That Dr. Frick was forced out last week marked a Hitler defeat, but a defeat which should remove from public notice a Fascist so rabid and reckless...

...Joseph Duveen, international art tycoon, has emerged unscathed if not triumphant from three $500,000 libel suits. In 1915 Art Dealer Edgar Gorer failed to prove that Sir Joseph's opinionizing had spoiled the sale of a Kang Hsi vase to the late, great collector Henry Clay Frick. In 1921 Mrs. Harry Hahn of Kansas City brought a suit which only last fortnight came to a bootless halt (TIME, Feb. 18 et seq.). In 1923 suit was brought by the late Art Dealer George Joseph Demotte of Manhattan, which ceased when Mr. Demotte was accidentally shot to death while...
