...vice director, curator in chief and the director," whereon the final decision to de-access lies with the Acquisitions Committee or, if the object -like the Rousseau-is worth more than $25,000, with the board of trustees itself. But such safeguards are in practice vulnerable to a strong impetus from the director, since very few of the present trustees are in any real sense art experts...
...RAPHAELITES bequeathed little of artistic importance to the generations that followed them. Stylistically their flatness of design and elaboration of detail verged on the decorative and gave impetus to Beardsley and Art Nouveau. Yet what they were doing was in no way as radical or influential as what their contemporaries across the Channel, the Impressionists, were doing. If the pre-Raphaelites contributed anything to the mainstream of modern art, it was an attitude. They were the first to rebel against the heavily sentimentalized genre scenes of the academy schools.

He could no longer have done so, said Saxbe, had the bombing...
...developing coolness toward Whitehead and Senator Sam Ervin's strenuous opposition to any infringement of press liberty should dampen whatever sparks of enthusiasm which may exist for Whitehead's plan. For the networks, solicitous of their fragile relationships with their affiliates, the threat of regulation may itself be sufficient impetus to change. Whether it succeeds or not, Nixon's proposal blows a chill wind across freedom of the press...
