Died. Minor White, 67, photographer whose dramatic landscapes, writings and teaching (at numerous workshops and at M.I.T.) made him one of the most influential artists of his generation; of a heart attack; in Boston. Intending first to become a poet, White continued to write blank verse to accompany his photographs. His goal, he explained, was to get "from the tangible to the intangible," and he considered his closeups of rocks, driftwood and swirling water "inner landscapes," metaphors for his states of mind. His groups of related photographs, or "sequences," were meant to be apprehended as one work, like a succession...
Reagan also argues that Carter's anti-Washington appeal will work against Ford, but not against him. He points to sizable Democratic cross-over votes that enabled him to blank Ford in the Texas primary, and to his support elsewhere by the now leaderless Wallace following. By carrying California and Texas, in both of whose primaries he swamped Ford, and picking off some Southern states he has demonstrated that no other Republican could wrest from Carter, Reagan insists the Republicans would have a better chance to win with him as the candidate...

...Japanese culture: a kosode, or small-sleeved robe - like the 17th century garment in two colors of figured satin, the jagged yellow sheet sweeping diagonally upward across its black ground - is as satisfying a work of art as any scroll or painted screen. Some kimono are filmy and almost blank, with patterns and emblems grouped in small areas. Others, like the takarazukushi, or "myriad treasures" robes, swarming with thousands of embroidered good-luck symbols, look thick enough to stand up on their...
...Poggetto began wondering whether he could devise some alternative entry through one of the chapel's other doors. There are eight in all, two on each wall, but four of them are blank. A sealed door leads to the adjacent Church of San Lorenzo, and the last two open into small unused rooms on either side of the altar (Michelangelo called them lavamani, or washrooms). One of these lavamani had traces of various 16th century sketches under its old whitewash. The other had a trap door in its floor leading to a long, narrow storeroom. Perhaps, Dal Poggetto thought...
