JUST AS THESE conclusions will be too grand to filter down into concrete good, so Bok's approach to the issues that confront him as an educator is too broad. He should be commended for concerning himself with such a pressing topic as financial aid, and it is difficult to find fault with much of the logic that characterizes his annual report. But, in the long run. Bok's words will serve only to clarify that the president of Harvard likes the idea of federal aid to students--in general. Aside from a few loose suggestions for the feds...
...would expect to triumph at the end, fades out like a dream scene. The reverse is central to the poem, and Wright makes it universal simply by allowing it to grow larger than the words. Similarly, in "Wherever Home Is," he allows a statue of Leonardo da Vinci to filter into his mind and emerge uncontrollable on paper. He relishes the flavor of da Vinci's life and the historical impression he is left with: affectionately he calls Leonardo a "madman" and wanders off in the sun with the artist. The last stanza is memorable...
...spite of his dominant presence on the court, other images of the senior captain stand out for the close observer of Harvard basketball. Like after each home game, as the often sparse crowds filter out of the IAB, the sight of his tow children, Darrell and Tamelia, romping all over the gym. Donald's wife, Jean, says she lets the kids run relatively free when they are outside of the couple's small Peabody Terrace apartment...
Like artists of every stripe, the best historians make their work look easy.Their research may have been long and arduous, but they filter the odor of archival dust and mildew out of the finished product. Also gone are the blind alleys and dead ends, all the large and petty frustrations of scholarship. Few readers mind being spared such details. Yet the tracks that historians cover are sometimes as fascinating as the past they recapture...
...come. The sad fact seems to be that no younger American artist, in the 25 years since his death, has quite got past Pollock's achievement. His work was mined and sifted by later artists as though he were a lesser Picasso; seen through this or that critical filter, it could mean almost anything. The basic données of color-field abstraction, which treated the canvas like an enormous watercolor dyed with mat pigment, were deduced by Frankenthaler, Morris and Noland from the soakings and spatterings of Pollock's work. Along with that went the "theological" view...
