...great sensitivity to the viewer's relaxed involvement. Galleries XI and XIII have been filled with large works; in XI, a series of very powerful dark field nudes and interiors (e.g., Le Foyer, #37, or Femme Au Bain, #31); in XIII, a colored, proto-abstract landscape series. In the central room, divided by partitions, the smaller, more casual works have been mounted in groups, much as they would have appeared on the wall of a late nineteenth century room. Flowers on console tables bring out the color of those monotypes which have been reworked with pastel. A few chairs help...
...phenomenon isn't really so strange. Though the Ed School and Roxbury seem unlikely allies, they've been linked by an overriding bond: the horrible deficiency of ghetto schools and the central role of education in focussing ghetto discontent...

Most of the militance comes from the C.W.A.'s 23,000 central-office installers. The highest-paid men in the industry (earning some $3.27 per hour v. $2.76 for the average phone worker), they have hooted down industry offers of a 71% pay increase over the next 18 months, are demanding a whopping...
