...masses of knitting I know I'll never finish." Britt had some other complaints too. "I don't like the way he allows his life to be governed by soothsayers," she said, harking back to the time he grew so superstitious over the malevolence of the color purple that he refused to enter his house until she had removed a purple armchair. Sellers was sympathetic. "She's so much younger, and I've already done all the things she likes...
...should teach it. Some student groups insist that only a Negro can fully appreciate and convey the implications of black culture. There are not nearly enough professors-black or white-with academic specialization in the field. Partly out of practical necessity, universities generally agree that a teacher's color is irrelevant in matters of scholarship. "You don't need a Greek to teach Greek or a Communist to teach Marx," contends Rutgers Provost Richard Schlatter. Anyone with a valid claim to expertise in black studies can just about choose his campus. Brooklyn College has created a chair...

In addition, his work will be shown later this month at West Germany's prestigious Dokumenta...

Morris Louis' "Color Barrier" (1961) hangs across from a Japanese painted screen of Magnolia blossoms against a gold background, and a Rembrandt is close to a Persian miniature. The exhibit (and Coolidge's purchasing pattern) is heavy on 17th century Dutch works because few gifts have been received from that period, and light on Impressionist paintings, which Harvard received in abundance from the Wertheim bequest...
