...Chalk-Talk Touchdowns. When his turn came, Butts was a far more relaxed witness-but no less emphatic. He had talked football with his friend Paul Bryant many times, he said. "In fact, I've talked football with every coach I've ever been around." But Butts insisted that he had never given Bryant any dope on Georgia football strategy; he had never given any coach any information before a game, he said. Burnett's notes, said Butts, were rife with error. To show why he would never have called the Georgia squad "well-disciplined," Coach Butts...
...Knight spent his youth studying the badlands the way a city kid takes in the movies. He might have made a fortune in mining, chose instead to teach on a salary that for 30 years did not top $5,000. Knight is famous for stunning blackboard sketches using multicolored chalk, and for his summer science camp, which has drawn 2,000 collegians from all over...

...sings from a stage bare of any decoration but the evening's credo, Für Weill, written in chalk against a black wall.

Will Holt, a showman who shares the stage, does his bit in the wicked-wise style common to Weill-Brecht productions, but Schlamme's dulcet performance enriches the irony Weill's Berlin songs depend upon. Her voice never sugars...
...much as it may outrage Pop, not to mention Grandpop, is the biggest fad since art belonged to Dada. Symposiums discuss it; art magazines debate it; galleries compete for it. Collectors, uncertain of their own taste, find pop art paintings ideal for their chalk-walled, low-ceilinged, $125,000 co-op apartments in new buildings on Park Avenue. Even Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art has bought a pop art sculpture called Dual Hamburger...
