...show contains a wide sampling of Hodler's work ranging in date from the early 1870s to the artist's death in 1918. Most astonishing -- and somewhat disconcerting -- is the bizarre variety of styles. The exhibition leaves the impression of an artist of superb talents who because he never found a consistent style has been immensely difficult to appreciate. The early influences are the ones expected for the time: Corot and Manet in particular. The diversity is present right away in Hodler's work, and so is the excellence. The Angry One, a self-portrait of 1881, demonstrates a fully...
...1870s, the government made token attempts to discourage gold seekers while simultaneously pursuing expansionist land policies. When the Indians protested the presence of "white men made crazy by yellow metal," the government's response was another treaty commission. The government wanted the Paha Sapa, but it took Custer's Last Stand...
...period of testing which The Magenta went through in the 1870s did not go easily. Even though the editors of The Advocate extended their editorial goodwill to the new paper, the community at large seemed unenthusiastic.

Also in 1875, in concert with The Advocate, The Magenta cancelled its policy of credit to subscribers. "We have been in existence now for three...
...formal systems of election and job classification which now esixt at The Crimson seem not to have come into being in the 1870s.

Two editors were put in charge of each issue, and given the responsibility for writing the editorials, soliciting copy from other sources, and seeing the paper through the press. (Printing was done alternately at the Riverside Press and John Wilson & Sons, in Cambridge.) Periodically, meetings of the staff were called by the President, who would hang The Crimson shingle from...
...medical shows: a crooked doctor. No new adventure hero, it seems, will be admitted to the schedule without an ethnic identity badge. ABC'S Kung Fu is a sort of Fugitive foo yung-a Chinese priest permanently on the lam in the American West of the 1870s, nonviolent but ready to zap troublemakers with the self-defense art of kung fu. The title character of NBC's Banacek (one of three rotating shows in the NBC Wednesday Mystery Movie) is not only a rugged insurance sleuth but also a walking lightning rod for Polish jokes...
