The Week

• Senator Hubert Humphrey declared in, appropriately enough, an address to the American Nurses’ Association, that we can win “the cold war” with “warm hearts.” On that basis, we nominate Bernie (Vicuna) Goldfine as chief of cold war operations. We never heard of a warmer, wider, or more nonpartisan heart than he has been displaying these past five years.

• Although there has lately been swelling (and nearly unanimous) criticism of the exhibits displayed in Edward D. Stone’s elegant American building at the Brussels World’s Fair, no one as yet has raised the obvious question: who is responsible for them? We have heard that, under U.S. Commissioner Howard Cullman’s slipshod eye, control of exhibit arrangements was turned over to a curiously qualified pair: one in effect an expatriate, the other a Leftist, both explicitly contemptuous of American culture. If true, the poor showing maybe makes a good deal of sense, one way you look at it.
