...were a good way to start. But you have to be young to take it. George Armacost, 65, the about-to-retire president of the sponsoring University of Redlands, came out to the camp one evening and started talking like a normal college administrator until one of the kids cut him off: "C'mon, George, get with it." It was the first time a Redlands student had ever called him George. He was still up at 4 a.m., banging away on his portable typewriter, setting down his reaction to the experience. He didn't quite understand...
...finds Rousseau's image pasted permanently to the back of one's brainpan. Those serpents keep on slithering through the jungle of one's own nerve endings, while that level flute pours silence drawn from striped pools. Gilbert Stuart's Flautist is a man cut off from that silence, from wife and children, village, home. He sits soulnaked, haltered in other men's finery. Stuart, the master ironist who gave us a grandmotherly George Washington, here portrays a burnt-cork-face minstrel in reverse. This is a handsome black musician masked, glassed, in a transparent...

Her boss, however, sees his work cut out for him, and no way to avoid it. Haute couture for children, Cardin explains, "was a perfectly logical, even indispensable step. The couturier's primary preoccupation is to impose his style. I did it first with women, then with men. It was only natural...
Nevertheless, she handles the surface facts with clarity and crispness. Huge, amiable Dr. Spock is warmly real in her prose. With apparent balance, she also shows how defense lawyers, instead of helping to cut through to moral essentials of the defendants' arguments, too often sowed confusion and sought the protection of sophistry and technicality. The least attractive result was Coffin's testimony to the effect that he was really helping, not hindering the draft, "because," as he explained, "turning in a draft card speeded up a man's induction and in no way impeded his induction...
