...second half, however, the Harvard eleven employed some brilliant, pinpoint passing to score its three goals. At 11:55 of the third period Chiappa blasted a pass from Fred Akuffo into the net. The Crimson's second tally at 15:13 was an aesthetic delight. Akin Adewole, at outside right about 40 feet from the goal, spotted Sam Thompson alone on the left side, and kicked a high shot toward him. Thompson headed the ball right at the feet of Chiappi, who scorched a short one past the bewildered Tufts goaltender...
Though the red-checked tablecloths and steins of beer might as easily be found in Heidelberg or Hanover, the audiences are more akin to Hackensack. Some, of course, are college kids, but a surprising number are middle-aged couples, flushed of face and strong of voice, swinging down memory lane, with a stop now and then for a swig and some peanuts. The band is properly twangy, the repertory-On, Wisconsin!, "Hold That Tiger," "Roll Out the Barrel"-the sort that only a trombone, a tuba, a washboard and a couple of banjos can get away with...
...perfect sincerity, Johnson thinks of himself as being President of all Americans- which he is. He would also love to see himself regarded as a bi-partisan leader, and he insists that all of his speeches, his travels, his handshakings are "nonpolitical." This is some thing much akin to Arnold Palmer's claiming that he plays golf just for the exercise...
Indiana's ancestors in hard-edge imagery are Charles Sheeler, Charles Demuth, and other U.S. precisionists; the lettering is akin to Stuart Davis. His waterfront studio overlooks the Brooklyn Bridge, and among his recent works are images that recall Joseph Stella's adoration of the bridge in paint. But Indiana circles them with poetry from Hart Crane, as he circles salvaged sailing-ship masts in his show with staccato words. Commanding, yes, but the weakness of his work is that the wordiness relates more to literature than painting, and the forms more to highly repetitive geometry than...
...REVOLUTION. Like Marx, Lenin thought that violent revolution was both inevitable and necessary. "Those who are opposed to armed uprising," he wrote, "must be ruthlessly kicked out as enemies, traitors and cowards." He dismissed the notion of peaceful victory over capitalism as heresy, akin to the hated belief in mere social reform. This, as Lenin and Marx saw it, provides a palliative for the workers that, by lessening their misery a little, only delays revolution. On the other hand, Khrushchev can quote Lenin as saying that the time must always be right for revolution before it is tried, and also...
