...HARTFORD has recently completed what may well be, in a relatively small compass, the most successful redevelopment of a central city area. Constitution Plaza is a complex of five office buildings and a hotel surrounding a pedestrian terrace ? an arrangement that produces a pleasantly cloistered effect...
...right). There is even a U.S. group, impersonally called Anonima. Composed of three young men, Francis Hewitt (below), Edwin Mieczkowski (next page) and Ernst Benkert, who met at the Carnegie Institute of Technology and Oberlin College in 1958 and '59, they believe that the rule and the compass are proper artist's tools. Like other op artists, they dislike artistic preciousness, the expression of the prima donna personality on canvas, and psychic plumbing into the meaning of art.

The late Wanda Landowska chose the harpsichord as her clavier, and her performances (RCA Victor) will be preferred by listeners who demand greater contrast and majesty...
...Mahakala, whose blue bulk is crowned and garlanded with severed heads. The worshiper is expected to make a visual pilgrim's progress from the edges of the mandala, where he buries his worldliness in stylized cemeteries showing scenes of torture and immolation. Four godlings representing the cardinal compass points help him purge external reality. At the center Mahakala waits, clutching ritual symbols of self-annihilation: a skull bowl brimming with frothy blood and a chopping knife...
