...reprimand makes it easier for me to believe that the Ad Board made some attempt to be "reasonable" and "fair." I still do not and cannot agree with its decisions, which I still consider very much unwarranted. I tried very hard in my first letter to convey my sense of the motivation of the students involved--that were it not for their extraordinary compassion and empathy, they would not be in their present position. This is especially true in Jennifer Granholme's case. Jennifer voluntarily involved herself in the hearings in order that Mike Anderson not suffer a heavier punishment...
...first glance, a painting like Cake Window (Seven Cakes), 1970-76, might seem to reflect the familiar Warholian message of pop: uniformity within glut. But no. Its target is specificity, the peculiar qualities of fluorescent light (no less difficult to convey than those of sunlight or moonlight), the lush mortuary blue of the shadows, the buzzing glitter of the whites. Light is trapped in the dense paint, and Thiebaud extracts a lavish, slightly mocking sensuality from the pun between the depicted work of the cake icer--smearing those layers of sweet goo, drawing arabesques with the forcing...
...York Times, in sententious editor's notes, publicly rebukes its writers and editors for lapses in taste and balance (or excesses in outspokenness). The unintended effect of such after-the-fact scolding is to convey the impression that nobody in responsible authority reads the paper before it goes to press. The Times recently took away a twice-a-week column by its Pulitzer-prizewinning reporter Sydney Schanberg, who wrote passionately against real estate speculators and presumably displeased the publisher. Schanberg subsequently resigned. The editorials in most papers these days discuss the issues with the evenhandedness of a sociologist...
...most important element in Always Coming Home is the autobiographical narrative of a woman called Stone Telling. Although her story takes up roughly one-fifth of the book, it provides an accessible focus for the bigger picture that Le Guin wishes to convey. Stone Telling looks back on her childhood, when she was called North Owl (Kesh people change their names whenever it seems appropriate to do so). She lives with her mother and grandmother in a matrilineal society whose rituals harmonize with nature and the passing seasons. She studies the habits of animals and learns the Kesh song...
...listen to the album in its proper context: remember that the late seventies' most enduring contribution to humanity was herpes. And as the liner notes convey, this collection could be justified because it shows Reed coming of age, discovering romance and relfection after years of cynicism. Here we have the seminal influence on punk rock doing love songs and happy music just as the Sex Pistols and the Clash were creeping into the public consciousness...
