...being a Great White Hunter; for his son, hunting was a far more serious matter. He arrived in Africa 17 years ago and earned a reputation as one of the top professional hunters in Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro area. But Ernest's son Patrick Hemingway, 40, eight years ago put away his rifle for a more rewarding job-protecting and preserving Africa's dwindling wildlife. Now Patrick is teaching conservation to 63 black African students currently enrolled at the College of African Wildlife Management at Mweka, in northern Tanzania. "I like the work," he says, "because...
...faculty committee and minority-group students. Under the plan, which would start in the fall of 1970, half of the freshmen class (including slum whites) would be admitted from ghetto areas "without regard to grades." After tutoring, they could go on to earn degrees in perhaps six or eight years. A key goal: promoting hope and incentive in slum high schools. Arthur Bierman, a physics professor and faculty negotiator, who initially opposed the whole idea, was eventually sold by the student negotiators' sincerity.

The subject, an inmate of the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Mo., and a man with a long history of violence, shook his head. But as Kinzel continued his advance, the prisoner's hands clenched into fists and he backed off, like someone gearing for attack. It was almost...
...dominant work on display is a tableau featuring eight torsolike constructions made of wire netting swathed in plaster, lined up against a wall painted to look like a strikingly blue Greek sky. The figures are bound to the wall by strands of concentration-camp barbed wire. Another piece consists of a plaster "torso" wearing a bloodstained gray jacket, its arms flung out handless in the posture of a crucifix. Two or three blood-red cloth carnations sprout from the jacket's inside pockets. Still another assemblage presents a shoe embedded in a plaster block. Where the toe dared...
