...first-prize winner in oils was a hot orange-and-red living-room interior by Gregorio Prestopino (TIME, Jan. 26, 1948). It seemed to suit the factory workers, ladies' clubbers and art fanciers of Youngstown (pop. 180,000); so many came on opening night that the rum for the punch bowl ran out. The painting and the other winners also pleased Joseph Green Butler III, the institute's greying, quiet, 57-year-old director...
...months Chile has been the reluctant host to the most prominent and best-heeled band of ex-Dictator Juan Perón's sidekicks anywhere outside an Argentine prison. There was Perón's Chamber of Deputies President Hóctor Cámpora; José Gregorio Espejo, once head of the General Confederation of Labor; John William Cooke, last boss of the Peronista Party; and Pedro Andrés Gomiz, former director of the nationalized Argentine oil industry. But it was two others who were most remembered back in Argentina. One was boyishly handsome Guillermo Patricio...
...Cradle Song as a play has certain disadvantages. It is so unpretentious as to be unsuited to any production style less intimate than very small theater-in-the-round.

...Gregorio takes the wheel and Hemingway lets himself down to the deck and sits down. His voice has an ordinary sound, but high-pitched for the big frame that produces it. For all his years away from his rootland, he speaks with an unmistakable Midwestern twang. Absentmindedly he rubs a star-shaped scar near his right foot, one of the scars left by the mortar shell which gravely wounded him at Fossalta, Italy, in 1918 when he was a volunteer ambulance driver. Nick Adams, hero of many of Hemingway's short stories, was wounded at approximately the same place...
...Pilar turns the harbor mouth, Hemingway takes the controls. Ceremonially, Gregorio the mate hands up to him what remains of the tequila and a fresh-cut half of lime. Hemingway does not actually drink the tequila, and the whole thing bears the appearance of a ritual, as if to ward off sea serpents. Only at the dock does he pass around the bottle. "We went out and had a good day and caught plenty fish and got pooped," he says. "Now we can relax for a while and talk and go to sleep." With a tired smile on his tired...
