...Modernists. More than any other dealer, Betty Parsons is credited with bringing abstract art to its present status. She opened in 1946 with about 13 artists, including the even then venerable Hans Hofmann and Ad Reinhardt. She gave one-man shows to Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Clyfford Still and Barnett Newman. The public was either indifferent or hostile at first, but Betty Parsons got an unexpected boost her first year from a most unlikely source. "Anyone who wants to spend $100 or $150 for a picture by one of the younger American abstractionists may eventually own a masterpiece," cooed Elsa...
...means of resistance, Kilpatrick proposed the decrepit doctrine of interposition, by which recalcitrant states attempt to block federal authority with their own. His 1955-56 editorial series on interposition has inspired segregationist leaders ever since-from Virginia's former Governor Almond to Mississippi's Ross Barnett.

At Williams, Barnett is chairman of Williams' Center for Development Economics, which each year trains a group of graduate students from developing nations...

A few weeks ago Governor Barnett--like the "Reverse Freedom Ride" supporters before him--abandoned that belief by leaving the responsibility for integration to the government. Happily, Reynolds, and Winston-Salem are still willing to live with...
...Barnett was going to keep his promises. When the President finally did go on camera, he was unsure about what was happening in Mississippi, and his uncertainty showed in his speech. But even if Kennedy had been at his most eloquent, it was too late to do any good. In a note of self-congratulation, he told his audience that "thus far" the Government had not used military force. But down in Mississippi, a long night's violence had already erupted...
