...Clifford Smith's current exhibit, KidsArt, keenly focuses this painful contradiction. KidsArt, a collection of 60 or so simple sketch pieces, will eventually take the form of a coloring book for elementary school children. Its list of contributing artists, though, reads like a veritable who's who of the contemporary American art scene, including names like Sol Lewit, Jill Anderson, Carl Andre and Lawrence Weiner. The purport of the project, sponsored by Pilot Programs 217, Brooklyn, artkrush.com, and Clifford Smith, is to "introduce young to ideas and images in contemporary art."

In addition, a few creative pieces—one an accompaniment for a Jasper Johns exhibit, the other a short parodic sketch of Pyramus and Thisbe—provide unsatisfying, indulgent interludes...
Still, most students exhibit no fear of flying. Diana C. Rosenthal ’05 says, “I feel safer than ever because they have stepped up security to make passengers feel secure. The last thing the airlines need is more layoffs from a lapse in business.” Abby C. Bridges ’05 plans to fly home not only for Thanksgiving but for Columbus Day as well. “My flight plans for Columbus Day are pretty annoying,” says Abby. “They had originally planned to send...
