...Last week, even as the U.N. Security Council debated a proposal by its five Western members (the U.S., Britain, France, West Germany and Canada) for a political solution to Namibia's problems, thousands of members of the territory's Herero tribe gathered to pay tribute to their fallen leader, Chief Clemens Kapuuo, who had been slain by his political enemies. He was no ordinary tribal elder but the head of a multiracial coalition, who might have become the first President of an independent Namibia...
...founder of the Society, Peter L. Borowitz '74, said yesterday the Society was formed to allow students "to test their creative skills free of pretentious supervision. I am distressed that after only four short years in operation, the Society has fallen into the hands of 'technocrats' who seem much better at throwing formal parties than producing original shows...
...were floundering; they were only too happy to tour. One who desperately also wanted to come, and who never got the call, was Phil Ochs. The Rolling Thunder bus pulled out of New York without him; a month later Ochs was a suicide at 41.

In general, expressionism preferred the art of the Nordic Middle Ages, with their unrelenting insistence on the "four last things"-death, judgment, heaven and hell-to any Mediterranean tradition. Egon Schiele's knobbly waifs, all etiolated limbs and pinched flesh, are the lineal descendants of the fallen Eves in Gothic art. The expressionist body is a scrag of mutton with big extremities, very unlike the prosperous Renaissance nudes that, however mutated, survived in Picasso and Matisse. Expressionism was an art of confession, directed against the impermeable crust of a deeply formalized society. It had few political ambitions...
