What with the cold and the snow and the inexorable approach of exams, "a person could develop a cold," as apparently a number have. Nevertheless they say that every cloud has a silver lining.

Negro Painter Jacob Lawrence seldom tries to cover a whole subject on one canvas. In 20 years he has turned out nine series of paintings on such subjects as Haitian Emperor Toussaint L'Ouverture, Negro migration, and Abolitionist John Brown.
