  • THIS WEEK’S COVER
    • Packing the portraits of some two hundred people onto one small canvas is quite a chore. As life wasn’t long enough for individual sittings, John Falter’s painting of the joint session of Congress in the House on January 5, 1949, was done from photographs. Mr. Barkley, who hadn’t been sworn in as Vice-President, didn’t make the cover, being off-scene at the right. The Senate’s President Pro Tempore, Senator McKellar, was seated under the stars of Old Glory. Falter took one liberty; muttering “Excuse me,” he moved Mrs. Truman from the Executive Gallery into the visible Diplomatic Gallery. Everybody will recognize one person in the picture, a relative of Mrs. Truman; how many more can you name before studying the chart on Page 73?
