...telling the news of art, in words and pictures, we have frequently made reference to the historic Armory Show of 1913, when modern art first made its shocking impact on America. It was such a watershed event that, as long ago as 1956, our editors put down in their "futures book" a resolve to seek out and show anew the pictures that created such a fuss. The idea occurred at about the same time to a museum official in Utica, N.Y., who early this year was able to reassemble about 300 of the original works for a showing in Utica...
...previous March, and was actually rising in the worst-hit northern areas. Another rally next day by some 5,000 teachers demanding a wage raise showed that disenchantment with Harold Macmillan's Conservative government is even more widespread. It was far too early to predict the impact of all this on the coming elections, which will probably take place next year.

But as long as the blockbusters make a lot of noise, the Post does not seem much concerned by any fallout. "The final yardstick" of the magazine's impact, said Blair in a memo to his staff, is the fact that "we have about six lawsuits pending, meaning that we are hitting them where it hurts...

Even so, the job eliminations that the railroads want probably would result in savings of some $350 million annually after ten years. It is unlikely that the railroads can recoup the full $500 million a year that they claim featherbedding costs, largely because in some states the size of railroad crews...
...canvas, a vast landscape spread out behind them and a storm gathering above, all pictured in strong, somber greens and browns. What are they looking at-the end of the world? Goodman calls this painting simply The View-and, as in almost all of his work, the impact grows as the mystery deepens...
