True abstractionists have for the fur teacups, disembodied heads and limp watches of surrealism all the disdain of the conservative National Academy of Design. The basis of their philosophy is that a picture should not attempt to represent anything or suggest anything, should be an exercise in pure form, sufficient unto itself. In the introduction to the elaborate catalog of last week's show the Baroness Hilla Rebay von Ehrenwiesen, moderately well-known as an abstractionist in her own right, wrote...
Most success for the A. A. A. has come within business and professional groups which have established arbitration principles in contracts. Examples: the fur industry, actors and architects. Stock exchange firms have popularized an arbitration clause in customers' agreements, paving the way for settlement of such controversies as the one in 1935 involving $500,000 worth of Alleghany Corp. preferred stock (TIME...
Bundled in sheepskins, mackinaws and fur-lined boots, owners and skippers assembled there last week with 40 racing boats. The ice was bumpy, the winds weak, but they cut their five-day program to two days and made the best of it. Boats are classified by sail areas. Smaller boats may race in classes for larger boats.

It was evident that the Dictator, having badly muffed and antagonized the first Roosevelt Ambassador to Russia, famed "Bill" Bullitt...
...better of him. An emaciated Huckleberry Finn is there all right, watching a giant Negro land a fat catfish, but there are in addition Frankie & Johnnie and most of the history of Missouri. A slave trader is lashing a Negro, a buckskinned trapper in a fur cap is shooting his rifle. Mormons are being ridden out of town. There are also a country political meeting, a stenographer drinking a bright pink soda, a young mother changing her baby's diapers, a barn dance, a hired man milking a cow. Like giant snakes tying the whole together, run the Mississippi...
