...overwhelm him. One time after he had acquired a Cézanne, he presented it to his seminar and began to expostulate on its form. Suddenly he stopped, exploded, "My God, just look at it!" This is the sensation one gets while viewing the current memorial exhibit from his collection at New York's Museum of Modern Art. The memorial could not be better hung nor more appropriately placed: not only was he one of the Modern's seven founders; he also hand-picked as its first director his pupil, Alfred H. Barr...
That was written 15 years ago when we were examining the "silent" generation. Today the young are anything but silent.

Race relations are good, although the whites, who make up only 8% of the population, control most of the island's wealth. Easternmost of the West Indies, Barbados is kept at a comfortable 70° to 85° year round by the trade winds, has fine beaches-with Atlantic surf on one side and the calm, clear Caribbean on the other...
