But in this day when the most radical young artist is threatened not by neglect but by the possibility that he may be considered over the hill at 30, a few critics and some painters who themselves were radical only a few styles back...

"Reporters might get out and do some digging instead of running over to the D.A.'s office for a handout," says Manhattan Lawyer Robert Kasanoff.
