...sensitivity lies especially in the realm of color, which he uses lyrically and not without the oriental mystique. His drawing partakes of the same spontaneity but here the trouble begins. In a work like Blue Caduveo Shimizu conjures lovely and effective nuances of tone. Then, examining it closer, one finds a great deal of fiddling around and many squiggles which are without meaning. If these comprise a kind of patina they may or may not succeed. Unfortunately, in many of Shimizu's things they are more than patina.

However, it is fairly certain that this evening's contest will be a good deal closer than the varsity's 7-1 win last year. Middlebury retains much of last year's depth, with two solid, experienced lines at its disposal. The third unit is quite weak and will see little action, leaving the offensive burden resting with the strong first line of Mike Karen, Dick Morrison, and Phil LaTreille...

But he also knows the longing of all Germans for a closer community. His apparent strategy: using Berlin as his lever, to conclude a Big Four peace treaty over Germany that would leave to the "mutual consent" of the Germans their future status. Not reunification but "confederation" would be his offer, and, in return for normalizing conditions between the two Germanys, Communist...
