...excellent generalizer but an undistinguished portraitist. He seldom made an individual's face. The earliest known Lehmbruck, a bust of himself done in 1898 at the age of 17, is an exception to this. But it is, as one might expect, a rudimentary effort, stiff and mute. Fifteen years later, when he made his Head of an Old Woman, the image succeeded less as a portrait than as a meditation on time: the plaster face is weathered like an old root, its forms blurred under the delicate accumulated fingermarks...
...stand up. I couldn't quite keep my body between him and the stage, and he made his first jump, while simultaneously passing out. Doug took him out, talked to him, and brought him back, "Humor him, he's really wrecked, and he's not going to hurt anybody." Fifteen minutes later, he had called me everything he could think of, had tried to get a boost onto the stage, and been pulled back, had tried to punch me out, and had altogether made a nuisance of himself. Once he grabbed my midsection, I suggested we take...
...last year when FBI investigators discovered that some Chicago policemen were involved in a scheme to shake down tavern owners in the city's North West Side Austin police district. Nine policemen -including two lieutenants and a sergeant-and two former policemen were indicted. Four have been convicted. Fifteen additional policemen were suspended by Conlisk after they refused to talk to the grand jury about the shakedown operation. The scheme may have spread to other areas of the city; one high-ranking policeman quit his job when federal probers started looking into possible extortion by policemen in the Near...
...help moved only two young gentlemen, who started chasing the robbers; but, in view of the situation, I almost despaired of seeing the runaways caught. Fortunately, somebody alerted the Harvard Police, who arrested the robbers in a lightning action supported by the City of Cambridge Police. Hardly did fifteen minutes elapse between the robbery in front of William James Hall and the arrest of the third accomplice around Harvard Square...
Centers shift, in design as in other arts. Fifteen years ago, modern design still meant Scandinavia-birchwood tables and Wirkkala ceramics. Not today: the node from which the most inventive impulses in design now issue is Italy. Italian designers dominate their field in the '70s much as New York painters dominated theirs in the '60s. Last week in Manhattan, the Museum of Modern Art opened an impressive display of home furnishings and environments entitled Italy: The New Domestic Landscape. The show gives a fascinating overview of the projects-commercial, speculative and Utopian-that have occupied designers in Milan...
