...deserved promotion before any new exam was ordered. Said he: "My people are victims of Judge Marshall's command that the city correct its previous discrimination by imposing quotas. They are Bakke. They are victims of reverse discrimination brought about by court order and a rigid quota." The comparison seemed somewhat stretched, but Judge Marshall nevertheless delayed his order abolishing the 1973 list of candidates for promotion and allowed Barry time to submit new arguments based on the Allan Bakke case...

Along the way, the Kinsey-ites spent $1 million and conducted two-to five-hour interviews in the San Francisco Bay Area with 979 male and female homosexuals and a comparison group of 477 heterosexuals. The result of their labors is a tome called Homosexualities, to be published next month by Simon & Schuster ($12.95). While the book offers no stunning surprises, it does contain fascinating glimpses into the gay life, circa 1970, when all the interviewing was completed...

...stare, the laconic speech, the cigar stub jutting like a bowsprit from the face, the seafaring background and fo'c'sle oaths, the muscular arm-all are there. He signs his work with an anchor; and Westermann's age, 55, is about right too. What the comparison lacks, of course, is the talent. Westermann's retrospective of 59 sculptures and 24 drawings, which runs until mid-July at the Whitney Museum in New York and then goes on a tour of museums in New Orleans, Des Moines, Seattle and San Francisco through the spring...
