Minimal Sculptor Robert Morris, 37, argues that the new compulsion to record the process owes much to action painters like Jackson Pollock, whose huge drip canvases were a tapestry of color-and a record of the act. "Pollock had no heirs in the 1950s," says Morris. "But now people are involved with the physicality of art, in the all-overness, the aggressiveness of the medium, in, the material having its own properties...
After five weeks of plying the Ozarks' chicken-fry circuit in the same $3 drip-dry sports shirt and rumpled slacks, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee donned a dark suit, striped tie, and vest and headed back to Washington. With 53% of the vote against a field of three opponents, J. William Fulbright had handily won renomination. Chewing laconically on a stick of Spearmint, he allowed: "I wasn't surprised.

Modern Sculpture With Weakness combines a log nearly chopped through, a plastic wheel with a slice removed and aluminum...
Under Campione's leadership, the hotel chain increased its revenues by one-third, to $17.3 million, between 1961 and 1967. While new plans call for catering to the drip-dry set, CIGA will continue to coddle the upper crust. The rare cathedral glass of Venice's Danieli, which was built in the 15th century, will still be repaired by the only living artisan with the necessary know-how. Faithful customers, who range from Europe's nobility to Actor Peter Sellers, will still receive the same tender care they have learned to expect from CIGA employees. At Rome...
