Kistiakowsky. I'll try to summarize that briefly. Jerry and I probably were responsible for its start. We had prepared several letters to President Johnson in the winter of '65-'66. We got what amounted very much to a brush...
...Reggie McKenzie, Michigan, 6 ft. 4 in.. 232 lbs. A mountain of muscle. Smith is "a real savage with great straight-aheaid blocking power." Since Georgia is mainly a running team, the scouts say that Smith will have to brush up on his pass protection. Even so, most agree that he "plays like a pro already."

Sheeler's "Geranium Plant," a frequent model for his paintings, appears here in double imagery as physical object and as mottled dises of shadow on a wall. The light coming through a window streaks across the wall--reminiscent of his precise and geometrical paintings of abstract light patterns. "Pennsylvania Barn" also maintains the geometric quality--horizontal fences, wooden...
