Allowing for a bit of hyperbole, that much is clear from the show itself. Except for a few minimal sculptures, Pop brings Geldzahler's show to an abrupt end and, surprisingly, it takes its place comfortably enough as history. What has happened since 1965, the cutoff date Geldzahler chose for established talents, would be another show entirely, a free-for-all with kinetic and light sculptures, environments, photo-realists and cold figuratists, the shadowy, sensitive light works of Los Angeles artists, the foolish funny funk art of San Franciscans, and the esoteric conceptual fantasies of the young reactionaries...
Such attacks did not yet mean serious congressional trouble for Nixon, nor did they necessarily indicate that the patience of much of the rest of America had yet run out on the President. But Nixon seemed visibly on the defensive at his press conference. He bluntly dismissed the Goodell cutoff plan as representing "a defeatist attitude." He said it would preclude any movement toward peace until that cutoff date, since "any incentive for the enemy to negotiate is destroyed if he is told in advance if he just waits for 18 months, we'll be out anyway." Nixon seemed...
McGraw perfected what is now a commonplace baseball device: the cutoff throw, whereby an infielder checks the throw from the outfield if a runner has already scored and there is a chance that another base runner may be cut down. He raised to an art the hit-and-run play, in which the runner breaks for the next base as the pitch is thrown, while the batter tries to confound the defense by hitting the ball just behind him. In short, he helped make baseball a chess game based on probabilities; its rowdy practitioners he molded into skilled but highly...
Strait Path. The one-man, one-vote principle, wrote Justice William Brennan for the majority, requires that the state "make a good-faith effort to achieve precise mathematical equality" and "must justify each variance, no matter how small." Brennan added: "We can see no nonarbitrary way to pick a cutoff point" at which population variances become too small to matter...
...Marcuse "show that capitalist freedom actually enslaved." (He doesn't "show"--he only say.) He certainly does not sound enslaved. And does mouthing fragments for 19th-century ideology (Marx, Bakunin) really liberate? And in not Marcuse 40 years "older that 30," your cutoff on credibility? Incidentally, would you trust your life to a surgeon under 30--who never finished medical school...
