In Tallahassee, Fla., 16-year-old Harold Knowles, one of three Negroes to start classes at Leon High School, said: "I expected some friction, but nothing hap pened."

"She is picking up a man. Look at the text: 'And her hap was to light upon, a part of the field belonging to Boaz.' The work is meant to represent the plot laid down by nature for us all." Lifesection has this play of moods in reverse. It is for a moment a delightful bit of sculptural acrobatics-until it is seen...
