...favorable attention in the U.S. than at any time in memory. Most active has been the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which sent to New York a delegation headed by its president, the Rev. Joseph Lowery. Meeting with Terzi and other P.L.O. representatives, it conveyed its unconditional support for the "human rights of all Palestinians, including the right of self-determination in regard to their homeland." Although the S.C.L.C. urged "consideration to the recognition of the nationhood of Israel" and stopped short of endorsing a separate Palestinian state, Terzi was delighted with the meeting...
...following day the black group called on Israeli Ambassador Blum and told him that it made "no apologies for our support of Palestinian human rights, just as we make no apologies to the P.L.O. for our continued support of the state of Israel."

Replied the Rev. Joseph...
...isolate Adams' contribution to the language of photography, the show at MOMA concentrates on his landscapes. (The only human artifact in the exhibit is a low stone wall in front of an early view of Yosemite Valley.) The show enables one to see Adams' early and late prints from the same negative, and the difference is interesting. The early ones are of ravishing delicacy; they have a subtlety of discrimination, a continuity of surface tone that are essentially lyric. But by middle age, Adams' work began to shift. In the darkroom, he was conducting from the negative's score?pushing...
