...Minister between 1960 and 1964, largely because of his efforts to obtain sovereignty over those parts of northern Kenya and eastern Ethiopia roamed by Somali nomads. His domestic policies, however, had produced little unrest. After a three-year period out of office, he was elected President in 1967. He chose as his Prime Minister Mohammed Haji Ibrahim Egal, 41, who promptly proceeded to end the border frictions...
Allowing for a bit of hyperbole, that much is clear from the show itself. Except for a few minimal sculptures, Pop brings Geldzahler's show to an abrupt end and, surprisingly, it takes its place comfortably enough as history. What has happened since 1965, the cutoff date Geldzahler chose for established talents, would be another show entirely, a free-for-all with kinetic and light sculptures, environments, photo-realists and cold figuratists, the shadowy, sensitive light works of Los Angeles artists, the foolish funny funk art of San Franciscans, and the esoteric conceptual fantasies of the young reactionaries...

Under Governor Ronald Reagan's leadership, they chose to overlook more recent rulings by both the California and U.S. Supreme Courts holding that mere membership in the Communist Party does not disqualify a professor from teaching in a state university; specific intent to carry out the party's unlawful aims must be shown. Equally remarkable, the regents ignored the advice of U.C.L.A. Chancellor Charles Young, who opposed the firing...
