Today's "Danish modern" is in a sense the climax of that tradition-a simple, sane and sanitary style suitable for all. The Met show has its full share of pleasing examples: the frugally lined furniture of Kaare Klint and Arne Jacobsen, the silver of Georg Jensen, bright-hued pottery by Axel Salto and Arnold Krog, and the toys of Kay Bojessen that combine beauty with humor. But despite the riches of the present, the fact remains that Denmark's most spectacular moments of majesty come from long...
...night, the heat was oppressive. By day, it was impossible. Gulping salt tablets, the world's best athletes did their best to ignore the temperature and set out for glory in the 1960 Olympic Games.

Vice President Nixon is working on his own goodbye-Benson farm program, to be unwrapped soon after the G.O.P. nominating convention...
...good one, so that neither he nor G.O.P. Congressmen will have to run on Ezra Benson's record. Nixon added that he plans a hard campaign through the Middle West and particularly in towns under 10,000 population, where he can talk to farmers. Said Ben Jensen: "Nick,* you will honor every small town in America if you do that. That's where America lives...
