...professor in the Fine Arts Department has gathered portrait, ranging from death masks to oils, for a show opening tonight at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum that will be used to teach his core course this spring...
...mostly) dull American figurative works by John Steuart Curry, Jack Levine and the like, bought with Hearn's money in the '20s and '30s, that ought to be a footnote to the American Wing; dense with fair-to-splendid examples of early American modernists (Georgia O'Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, Arthur Dove and others) and later abstract expressionists, but far too light on German expressionism, Dada and constructivism.

...blaming Late Night with David Letterman for not running news inserts. The show's main problem seems to be a failure of nerve. It tries to break from the morning mold but retains enough Today-like elements to make the entertainment features jarring. Another sort of host -- a folksy Arthur Godfrey type, perhaps -- might have made the format more palatable. Even Smith and Hartley could eventually relax and turn into pleasant morning companions. Right now they are working too hard at chemistry to notice that the ingredients are not jelling...
