...work in a confined space to prevent stepping back, taking an overall look and possibly making cliche changes for symmetry's sake. Once the girders are joined together, Caro slaps on flat, emphatic coats of bright - paint whose loud colors are supposed to have a kind of subliminal impact, says he, "like a title." The results are scaleless, impersonal presences engineered to relate to nothing but sculpture. "I saw that you didn't need to make a sculpture of somebody crying," says Caro, "in order to make a sculpture...

When the founding conference of the United Nations met in San Francisco in 1945, among the Arab representatives were 19 A.U.B. graduates. Today its alumni include the U.N. Ambassadors from Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, as well as Sudan...
