...days after his Reichstag speech he addressed a proclamation to the German people, saying: "It is that Jewish plutocratic and democratic upper crust which . . . hates our new Reich." Then he prepared to leave for the Eastern Front, where his Army and that of Smigly-Rydz, an able if academic landscapist, were locked in a painters...
...secret of Gamelin's military success lay largely in his old mapmaker's and landscapist's instinct for geography. Not only was he able to take the maximum advantage of terrain so as to conserve manpower, but his shrewd disposition of fire power constantly enhanced the offensive quality of his command.

Last year the "Conservatives" were indignant when a "Modernist" won the Art Salon sweepstakes prize. This year they managed to elect a judge of their own choosing, Landscapist Frederic Tellander of Chicago. Great was their chagrin when Judge Tellander looked over the lot, selected River Bend by Marvin Cone, art instructor at Coe College, Cedar Rapids. Good friend of famed Grant Wood, Artist Cone showed that eminent Iowan's stylistic influence. River Bend was a sweep of stream...
