Paintings would be better if more young painters knew their minds so well, but in 1932, after nearly eight hard years of dishwashing and other grim jobs, Guglielmi became aware that "painting could be a means of communication." To Louis Guglielmi this was a solemn discovery, solemnly followed up. Working with the painful slowness of a virtuoso who hates virtuosity, living on the Federal Art Project's $22.77 a week, he has finished in five years 16 paintings which he is willing to show. Last week they were shown at Manhattan's Downtown Gallery in his first...
Last week, reversing the Circuit Court of Appeals at Philadelphia, which in April 1937 reversed a previous decision of its own, the Supreme Court of the U. S. settled the breakfast-food issue. Out of a solemn huddle came the Justices with a decision that the term "shredded wheat" did not belong solely to National Biscuit Co. Six-to-two (dissenters: Justices McReynolds and Butler), they found "shredded wheat" simply a generic term by which a "biscuit in pillow-shaped form is generally known to the public...
...both of them better men. There's big Ken, who looks so docile and lumbering but about whom enemy linemen have nightmares weeks before the Harvard. . . . There' little Nick, who had to wait for Russ and Chuck, and who seems to delight in his opponents' weight advantage. There's solemn Dave, who has the damndest luck with black eyes. There's colorful Tim, who like Hacker has found new joy in tackling. There's the steady Chief, with the barrel-house voice and the sure toe. There's Don and Win, a set of ends who have justified the confidence...
...dingy, impertinent, little trains chug in every few minutes and, before they have even skated to a halt, begin to spew forth a few score commuters who flash past him on staccato high heels or solemn, rubber-heeled oxfords. Cogs in the Hub's vast commercial machine, muses the Vagabond, as he lolls against a post. Each one intent only on getting to his or her job on time so that, when the man at the top of the heap pushes the button, all the units can awake into smooth action simultaneously. Vag watches them as he fumbles...
Often a jest by the ebullient Göring reflects what he knows to be in the mind of his friend Hitler, who seldom jokes. To the solemn Führer it is an unanswerably simple proposition that Britain should be willing to give him tit for tat. Tat is the Treaty of 1935 by which the German Navy was limited to 35% of the size of the British Navy, plus the Treaty of 1937 by which qualitative limitation of the two navies with respect to each other was fixed. Tit would be the ratio at which, after diplomatic trading...
