...every effect is carefully anticipated. Stephen Antonakos and Victor Millonzi play with the unique relationship between light and space embodied by neon. As Millonzi points out, "Light as sculptural mass can create forms that contain space and light instead of displacing it." Millonzi's work is a carefully balanced contrast between aluminum and flashing neon; first the angular volume of the metal dominates and then the spreading light. Antonakos' sculpture is more complex, with colored fluorescent tubes flashing through a number of different time sequences. The sketches show how the timing is programmed and reveal the way the sculpture...

In contrast, the Marshall Commission is empowered to study the various forms of national service, the relation between the local draft boards and the system's national headquarters, and the whole business of deferments. There is even a private watch-dog group called the National Service Secretariat which will advise the Commission...
