...Carolina ? was not Ford's idea of fighting a war. He kept requesting sea duty, and in a year he got his wish. He was assigned to the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Monterey in the South Pacific. Although he was under enemy fire in several major battles, his closest brush with death came during a typhoon that nearly washed him overboard; he was saved by landing on a catwalk beneath him.

Passim's, besides serving coffee and good music, is showing "I Ching" watercolors by Martha Jane Mount. Mount works with a very wet brush loaded with strong colors, which she allows to spread and pool in seemingly random patterns.

The term drawing is being used to cover a variety of media--watercolor, acrylic and acrylic air-brush--on paper. The works, both abstract and realistic, are small and intimate in feeling and vary greatly in quality. Still, the show is an insight into some of the types of art being done today and an excellent reason to visit the Drawing Study, one of the Fogg's best-kept...
