...speak of a "comeback" by an artist as conspicuous as Motherwell may seem odd, but it has a certain point. At 57, he is one of the last charter members of the New York School of the 1940s to remain alive and painting. Pollock, Gorky, Rothko, Kline, David Smith, Hofmann, Newman and Reinhardt are all dead, and their work has been so long discussed, labeled, ticketed and run through the meat grinder of mass art education that it has already assumed the air of an august period style-the last "heroic" American art.

...BRIEN. The party's national chairman will also likely be the convention chairman, a chore for which he volunteered.

...great, winning days of the '50s Brooklyn Dodgers. Revivals of '50s rock 'n' roll-arguably the decade's only cultural contribution-have become a regular feature at rock emporiums. Even Buffalo Bob Smith of TV's old Howdy Doody show made a comeback on campuses last year, and is still hanging on with a singing radio commercial for Riunite wine (TIME, April...
