...Tony Smith, who was thought of as primarily an architect at the time, witnessed the coming of age of the U.S. as a world art power in the 1950s. Many of the abstract expressionists who were responsible for that triumph were his friends, including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman. Smith designed the Long Island homes of Painter Theodores Stamos and Gallery Owner Betty Parsons. Not the least important aspect of the abstract expressionists was the size of their paintings. To force the spectator to become a part of their huge gesture paintings, leaders of the movement expanded their...
...Barnett Newman, 62, better known as an abstract expressionist, has recently attracted attention with his sculpture. His 26-foot-high Broken Obelisk, now standing outside the Seagram Building, was built at the Lippincott Environmental Arts fabrication plant in North Haven, Conn. Newman supervised each step of the process, had to draw a sloping line across the top of the inverted obelisk to show workmen exactly where to cut. Then the base was "flame cut"-i.e., burned with a cutting torch, in order to leave a grainy pattern of vertical lines...
...impact of the Negro vote was also evident in the gubernatorial race, in which two comparative middle-of-the-roaders-by Mississippi standards-beat former Governor Ross Barnett and four other candidates.

James Meredith, the first Negro at Ole Miss, has dealt his old adversary Barnett a similar blow by endorsing him: "Leaving out race, the Barnett ticket is the one that will bring the Negro out of political obscurity and into political significance not only in Mississippi, but in the nation." Barnett immediately blasted it as a political trick. Meredith sounds convincingly sincere as he travels through Mississippi, ruining Barnett by saying that none of the candidates offer any real attraction to Negroes, but that Barnett has shown an industrial program that will provide jobs for Negroes...
