...explanation by Richard Nixon to the American people would have considerable historical value. Thus we approached Frost last winter and arranged with him (though not for a fee) to have a TIME correspondent cover Operation Nixon. John Bryson, who took the pictures for our cover plus the album of color shots that accompanies the story, was the only still photographer allowed at the taping sessions. To John Stacks, our Washington news editor during the Watergate period, went the assignment of living for six weeks with the Frost staff in their Beverly Hills Hilton headquarters-looking at video tapes, interviewing Frost...

Unquestionably heir to Matisse and Klee in the realm of color expression, he is to his generation what they were to their own." This litany might have read better ten years ago than it does today; it is incantatory rubbish. Delacroix was not a "color painter" in any sense of the word that can be applied to Noland. He was a superb colorist whose art was occupied with matters other than the disinterested play of color...
