...Artists prosper," says Rickey, "but it becomes no clearer what art is. To present a Swedish roller bearing as art is at least as plausible as Warhol's presenting a commercial container." Rickey's difference, as the current exhibition of 75 of his works in Washington's Corcoran Gallery of Art demonstrates, lies in subordinating the precision bearing to the pure expression of what it is meant to supply-freedom of movement. He divorces the machine from function and allows it to do what is natural for it. Says he: "In a mechanized environment a machine that...
...myth of Director Mike Nichols, invulnerable up to now, has been that he could bust a comic rib with an onionskin script, but The Apple Tree is too thin for even his nimble touch. While Barbara Harris is as saucily mocking as ever, it becomes clearer with each performance that she is more of a zany caricaturist and mimic than she is an actress. She can do instant impersonations of people and moods, but except for her 1962 performance in Oh Dad, Poor Dad, she has never developed a character.

Burial of the 1966 civil rights bill in Washington last week was a disappointing defeat for civil libertarians. But beyond that setback there was some consolation.

Thus, instead of reporting record profits of $1,473,607 for the first half of 1966, which is what the books showed before the adjustment, the company reported a loss of $216,091. The biggest item was to provide a reserve for Taylor's entire investment of $1,142,902 in acquiring 85% of Holland's West-Friesland Eurotransport...
Since the dyslexic child has faulty visual and auditory perception, Mrs. McGlannan tries to reinforce these senses by stressing touch techniques. Children make human and animal figures out of clay to get a clearer conception of spatial relationships, work with big Masonite squares and circles to get a grip on geometric symbols. They stand on one foot and hold out their arms to comprehend the ideas of leftness and rightness. They manipulate letters that have been fashioned from pipe cleaners, feel the shapes with their eyes closed as the teacher pronounces the letter's sound. The aim, says...
