...museum gave no hint of the price it had paid for its new Aphrodite, but called the statue the artistic equal of the Uffizi's Medici Venus-which was probably copied from the same Greek original. It was Praxiteles who created the first unclad Aphrodite, around the middle of the 4th century B.C. Praxiteles' original is lost to art, but many a sculptor afterwards tried to give his work the same fluid lines and graceful posture. Of those who tried, the unknown sculptor of the Metropolitan Aphrodite is one of the few who even came close...
...hint. To the Swedish ambassador in wartime Moscow, Molotov hinted: "I don't think the Moscow climate agrees with you. I think you ought to ask your government to call you back for a rest-the sooner the better." ¶ The question-mark barrage. After listening to Adolf Hitler grandiloquizing about "spheres of influence," Molotov silenced him by asking all at once: "What's this about a new order in Europe? And in Asia?

By this gesture, labor, the other support of Peronismo, served notice that it shared the army's discontent. Taking the floor, Vuletich attacked allegedly corrupt officials, notably the President's private secretary, Juan Duarte, brother of the late Eva Perón. When...
...Harvard Dramatic Club left the well-trodden field of Othello with creditable success, marred only by the lead's unfortunate ineptness. Richard Heffron, in the title role, was more of a weight than a buoy to the show. Playing his early scenes in a sullen monotone, he gave no hint of a character that could erupt into uxoricide. Then, in his big scenes, he abandoned himself to steady roaring, without climaxes or the delicate shading that devides the complete amateur from the budding professional. As a result, Othello was without depth, a man of stock motions, trite passions...
