...these positions, says Paul Bender, dean of the law school at Arizona State University in Tempe, "makes things better for affirmative action." But for which plans? The next tests will come shortly. The Justices have two more major cases on the subject to decide by July, one involving fire-department promotions in Cleveland, the other the imposition of a minority-membership goal on a New York City union. Last week's decision would seem to bode well for those and other affirmative-action schemes.

Last year Artist Stephen Antonakos created two monumental 96-ft. by 12-ft. abstract neon walls of apple green, red-orange, pink and blues inside the Tacoma Dome, a sports arena. Artist Joe Augusta, who is also a tube bender, shapes masklike faces like Elvis Machine in startling colors, and Los Angeles Artist Eric Zimmerman made a playful neon birthday cake for the city's 1981 bicentennial.
