Despite the increase in their numbers and diversity, black leaders still encounter difficulties in exercising power. They need to form alliances with white politicians, and they find such alliances unreliable in a time of growing conservatism. California's Jerry Brown angered blacks by his tepid support for his running mate, Lieutenant Governor Mervyn Dymally, who lost to a conservative Republican, and for former Congresswoman Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, who lost her campaign for attorney general. Even Ted Kennedy, who remains the most popular white politician among black voters, raised hackles in black communities by campaigning for Ed Brooke...
Winthrop House will also receive new blood in the form of new co-masters James A. and Martha J. Davis. The Davises say they accepted the job because they miss having children around the house. The couple will be in training this spring for their new position by pinch-hitting for David and Patricia Herlihy, co-masters of Mather House, who will be taking a sabbatical in Italy...
...glycol, isostearic acid, acetylated lanolin alcohol and ceteareth-5-are moisturizers and emollients. These relieve dryness and protect the skin by softening, conditioning and lubricating it. Triethanolamine, stearic acid, glyceryl stearate, magnesium aluminum silicate and PEG-75 lanolin oil are emulsifiers that enable the other ingredients to mix and form a smooth lotion. Three of the ingredients are pigments, which give color to the skin when the cream goes on. They are titanium dioxide, iron oxides and talc.

Line has selected 181 photos (modestly including only two of his own but eleven of Hodge's), showing in many-hued detail the strange life of epiphytes like those that amazed Columbus, and the infinitely varied floral array to be found in jungles, pampas, steppes and deserts. Hodge's text...
Woodblock prints have become synonymous with Japanese art. Later Japanese Prints by Richard Illing (Phaidon; 64 pages; $9.95), an anthology of 65 examples (33 in color), surveys the vital 19th century tradition in which the print was produced and sold as a popular, commercial art form. Broadsheets celebrating the Kiabuki theater, courtesans, sumo wrestlers, samurai heroes, and witches and demons from Japanese folklore sold like rice cakes in the capital of Edo, now Tokyo. Yet despite their wide appeal, these prints were the work of master craftsmen who painstakingly carved up to a dozen separate blocks to produce one multicolored...
