New York is the twentieth century with all its choices, availabilities, sentiments, bravery, willingness to experiment, varietyand sheer living adventure. No precious little corners, no pious chit-chat, no crocodile tears-just life, life, life on the move. No place for living in or on the past, for the unfit or lazy. She has made big mistakes but she's got a big heart and the men of stature in this city must and will help. Without delegating authority wholly to the government, they will participate in the solution of its problems so that the ancient Ephebie oath of Greece-"to leave the city a better plaee than one found it"-becomes an accepted and real duty for all its citizens. It's well worth it.

Museums in Florence Accademia Gallery of Modern Art

Florence has over forty museums and art galleries. The two giants are, of course, the Uffizi Galleries and the Pitti Place. They contain priceless collections of the world's greatest art, and they require slow, unhurried, reflective visits for maximum enjoyment.

One other Florentine museum-the Accademia at the Piazza San Marco (from the Duono, walk down the Via Ricasoli to reach it)-may alone be worth your entire trip to Europe. For here, in a magnificent setting, stands the riginal of Michelango's David; and when you've seen it, you'll realize how inadequate are the weatherworn copies of it that are scattered elsewhere in Florence. Here, too, are several unfinished sculptures of Michelangelo, all the more fascinating because they give you a glimpse into the method of their creation.

The Gallery of Modern Art in the Pitti Palace contains a superb collection of all-Italian artists representing at least the first 30 years of the century; it may one day be the outstanding Italian collection representtative of our times.

Casa Buonarroti, 70 Via Ghibellina, should be on the list of Michelangelo lovers. This house, once occupied by a nephew of the sculptor, is now a museum. In addition to three original figures by Michelangelo, there is a large collection of his anatomical and architectural sketches. For those who have already admired his Pietas in the Duomo and the Accademia, the museums has reproductions of the other two which are in Milan and Rome.

What to expect from a travel agent

Work With a Travel Agent - Your Best Vacation Resource

Agents and travel information experts, eminently qualified to help pick the package that's best for you. Here's a premier to help you preapare for a productive meeting with your travel agent:

What's your budget? It needn't be hard and fast, but the options are too vast to approach without a figure or prie range in mind.

What kind of experience do you want? Domestic or foreign? A city or countryside? The mountains or the beach?

What is the focus of the trip? Is it a family trip, where diversions for the children are needed? Is your goal to relax or do you want lots of activity? Do you want to stay or put or move around?

When do you want to travel? Plan dates-but with some flexibility. Prices change as a destination moves from its high season to a "shoulder" season and then low season.

What type of tour do you want? Are you interested in the comfort of a fully escorted motorcoach tour or cruise? Would you prefer an all-inclusive package, or do you lean toward the greater independence of a modular approach?
