...public's love of their work, accept the fact that U.S. art presses alone roll off an estimated 350 million prints "suitable for framing" each year. But hardly any artist professes himself completely pleased with the results, since most color reproductions leave much to be desired. Offset lithography, the commonest technique used for wall pictures, produces colors that under the best of conditions are only partially true. Even the far more costly and time-consuming method of collotype, which offers near-perfect color veracity, does not capture the raised daubs and whorls of the artist's brush...
...vote neared, Ford realized that he had no chance to win. The 50 or so Southern Democrats he could count on were nearly offset by about 35 Republican defectors.

Sain was replaced in Minnesota by Early Wynn, who combined with Birdie Tebbetts to get the least possible out of the Indians' staff last year. Joe Adcock, an all-time favorite since hitting four homers in one game at Ebbets Field and reaching the center-field bleachers at the Polo Grounds, is the Tribe's new manager. Oh, and Dick Williams will similarly improve the Bosox...
