A study in contrasts
In response to: When art historians went to war
By Richard T. Arndt ’49 *72
Published in the July 7, 2010 issue
Compliments on your editorial guile in preceding the splendid article on Princeton’s contribution to the preservation, recovery, repair, and return of the art heritage of Europe in World War II with the inspiring story of ex-Congressman James Leach ’64’s planned tour of all...
