...Sculpture Prize ($2,400): to Britain's London-born Lynn Chadwick, 41, whose early mobile efforts were rated inferior to those by U.S. Sculptor Alexander Calder and whose welded sculpture ran second place to Britain's Reg Butler. This year Chadwick (who works mostly in iron) moved into the lead with his 19 angular, spiky sculptures that came close to being the hit of the Biennale.

...significant point that emerges from Potential's pages: the rest of the U.S. has little right to damn the South's separate and unequal public school facilities for Negroes. In some parts of the North, many schools with Negro student majorities were found to be almost as inferior to neighboring whites' schools as their respective Southern counterparts. Main underlying reason: residential segregation of Northern Negroes...
