LeBoutillier is disillusioned. As an undergraduate, he had offered his help to a former POW running for the Senate against George McGovern in South Dakota. The college kid raises $250,000 for the ex-POW and all of a sudden LeBoutillier is a hot prospect for both the Ford and Reagan fund-raising teams--or so he says. But he finds the Republican Party has "lost its soul." What the party and the country needs, he believes, is another Homestead Act--to return Americans to the land and their families; to recapture the spirit of 1862 without having to give...

The study for "Calendars", recently donated to the Fogg, is a very strong work which shows Gorky in one of his finer moments...
...show has problems but this is largely due to holes in the Fogg's collection. Both the Hoffman and the Motherwells are weak and the absence of the Pollock doesn't help things either. In addition, the show suffers from a lack of any work by Barnett Newman, a major figure on the color-field side of abstract expression. Though the Mark Rothko is an example of this school, it hardly compensates for Newman's absence. On the positive side, the show is well exhibited, and it is a nice surprise to see what the Fogg can fish...
