...Pants. First came the Mardi Gras traditional "Mystic Krewe"-70 men dressed in crown-shaped hats, yellow sailor-type collars, ballooning gold pants. gold sashes and white masks. Next came the "King," Louisiana Industrialist (forest products) Parrish Fuller, who was costumed in a jeweled crown, aquamarine pasha pants and cloak. Then 26 pretty Louisiana "queens" - Yambilee (i.e., yams) Queen, Shrimp Queen, Cotton Queen, Livestock and Pasture Queen, etc. -each accompanied by a masked "Duke" in wig, buckled shoes and knee breeches. Each queen curtsied low to the evening's guests of honor, Vice President Richard Nixon and his wife...
...prizewinners in the Chicago and Corcoran exhibits [Jan. 21] seem like the feckless choices of a madman. James Brooks's R-1953, which resembles nothing more than an imperfectly stained laboratory slide, cannot be interpreted as anything but a refined experiment in egomania. Lipton's The Cloak, even as a theme, could be more feelingly rendered by any class of fifth-graders. Glarner's Relational Painting Number 79 should be considered as an expression of pure design, not as art-it would make an excellent linoleum motif. Contrastingly, Loren Maclver's The Street shows a lyric...
...First prize ($2,000) to Bronx Sculptor-Welder Seymour Lipton, 53. for his bronze-braised, 8-ft. tall The Cloak (left). Lipton, who finally retired from dentistry two years ago to become a full-time sculptor and now has work in eleven museums, takes his cue from biological forms, feels that The Cloak, with its enclosing forms, symbolizes the fact that for man, as well as plant life, "protection is necessary if there is to be growth." ¶Second prize ($1,000) to Abstract Expressionist James Brooks, 50, for his swirling 7-ft.-by-7-ft. R-1953 (right...
Under the new policy the U.S. intends to cast its protective cloak over Israel and over the Moslem world from Morocco to Pakistan. Any Middle Eastern nation that asks for help against a Red threat will get it. Any threatened nation that does not request help will not get it. The new policy will be a voluntary and cooperative endeavor. In effect, the U.S. is moving into a power vacuum left by the decline of British power and the depletion of the British treasury. Moreover, the British and French, by attacking Suez, have all but wrecked their political acceptance...
...areas where they hope to find new oil deposits. And just as the U.S. wages unceasing shadow war against spies, so are oilmen on guard against cutthroat speculators out to filch their innermost secrets. Last week in Pittsburgh, a federal grand jury let the public in on one such cloak-and-dagger game: it indicted four men for receiving Gulf Oil Co. maps stolen by an employee, and trying to peddle them for prices reportedly up to $500,000. But even that kind of money was chicken feed to one of the indicted men: Odie Richard Seagraves, 68, an almost...
