...attempt sculpture until the very end. Still, it was a fore gone conclusion that he would succeed handsomely. His enigmatic painting evoked objects seen in the round, and his bottles, painted in the forms of women, are among the most cherished talismans of the 1930s. The eight sculptures employ ideas Magritte previously used in his paintings, gaining solidity without loss of magic. La Folie des Grandeurs derives from a 1947 fantasy showing three women's torsos, each set implausibly one inside the other.

...frequent times and places, especially in the early years, the concern for impact outstripped the capacity of the host country to fully and usefully employ Volunteers. An inability to recognize this capacity was one of the greater weaknesses of Peace Corps staff.

...installed anti-pot posters in campus buildings, set up an advisory committee to deal with the problem. In the wake of the arrests, President John Toll announced that he had hired a full-time consultant on drugs, Lutheran Minister Dean A. Hepper, who in turn said that he would employ a former addict to help him work with students. The arrested stu dents, most of whom have pleaded not guilty, face the double jeopardy of both campus and county discipline.
