...commented in the March 3 issue upon my recent lecture analyzing the various ways in which eye diseases might affect an artist's use of form and color. As your readers have pointed out, the primary objection to any such mechanistic explanation is that, however distorted the individual's perception, subject and rendering ought to tally. Yet this self-correcting effect does not always seem to operate. Tests have shown that a circle, viewed through an astigmatic lens, will be seen and reproduced as an ellipse; further evidence can be found in the practice and comments of various...
...trustees, Thomas got a phone call warning him that a young Negro war veteran was on his way to apply for admission to the law school. He made the decision to let him in and thereby made Arkansas the first of the old Confederate states to break the college color bar. Subsequently, all of Arkansas' eight tax-supported colleges let down the bars, and by last fall eight towns and cities, other than Little Rock, opened their public schools to Negroes...
...spent their money freely, but in unexpected places; they cleaned out all stocks of gabardine from one department store, all the nylon fur from another. They loaded up on lingerie and stockings and perfumes-for the girls back home; for themselves, they bought shirts, shorts and ties-in any color, curiously, except red.

The production-light, stylized, and done as a great sunny joke-was a tribute to TV's growing sophistication in the use of color. Ed Wittstein's sets, painted with cartoon-like sketchiness on a beige ground, gave an effect of air and space and no place in particular, left the color concentrated in the costumes; against the neutral background the disguised gallants were Turkish delights in their long Oriental coats, the women...
...love and got married, all because of you?" Fumbling for a figure, Benny Goodman at length replied: "1,327,463." After that improbable exchange, NBC valiantly set out to prove that swing not only scintillates on TV but is newer, "bigger and better" than ever. Visually tricked out with color, old-fashioned microphones and vignettes of young love (a car radio in a moonlit convertible of the '30s), Swing swung down the nostalgic side of the street. Besides tootling what is still the sweetest clarinet this side of the '30s, Maestro Goodman husked It's Gotta...
