...symbols were replaced by abstract shapes and squiggles that Gottlieb labeled "imaginary landscapes." Today, a Gottlieb canvas is apt to consist of two basic images-a circular shape floating over an exploding mass of calligraphy. These are called "bursts," and Gottlieb's most articulate champion, Director Martin Friedman of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, has called them "grandly conceived statements of dualism...
...disciplined, the other bursting. They neither draw the eye into spaces beyond or leap out to envelop it, for Gottlieb means them to be so flat that they will not violate the surface of the canvas and so sim ple that they can be absorbed at a glance. To Friedman, they suggest "the resolution of serene and aggressive elements" and hence "the paradox of civilized man." To others they are simply there, in all their stubborn purity-statements without any definite meaning and with little magic, but with a painterly integrity that has a force...
...philosophy of dialogue also leads to a striking interpretation of Scripture. Neither an infallible guide to man's conduct nor a collection of legends, the Bible is a dialogue between the speaking I of God and the hearing Thou of Israel. Buber's disciple Maurice Friedman calls it "the historical account of God's relation to man seen through man's eyes." Admiration & Shock. Buber is the most widely read Jewish thinker of the century, although there are plenty of Catholics and Protestants who are more enthusiastic about his work than some of his fellow Jews...

Conservatism also marks the first-rate law school, headed by Dean Phillip C. Neal, which has lured the American Bar Association to a nearby national headquarters. In 1958, for example, Chicago law professors did the research for a prickly resolution by the chief justices...
Complementing Mills' direction were the music conducted by Thomas Walker, the costumes of Lewis Smith, and the scenery of John Friedman. The costumes were particularly brilliant, the scenery cleverly attractive. Mr. Walker's orchestra was surprisingly facile given the limitations of its size, and nearly everywhere balanced the voices properly. Hopefully, some raggedness in the finale of the first act will disappear in the performances to come...
