Lachaise was a bit obsessed himself. To him, women were mountains, Earth Mothers, the "life force" of the universe. He used them with a kind of explicit symbolism, exaggerating their shapes sometimes beyond recognition, twisting their bodies with almost mannerist intent. His work is frankly sexual; so much so, in fact, that the Museum of Modern Art would not include some of his last and best pieces in its retrospective show in 1935. Many of them were never cast until the Los Angeles Museum put them into bronze for this show. But Lachaise never intended to embarrass or astonish-only...
Ward died last year aged 76, and last week his stamps were sold for a record $1,100,000. The buyer was up-and-coming Stamp Dealer Raymond H. Weill, who seems intent on making New Orleans the new stamp capital of the U.S.; three months ago, he set a record by paying $78,400 for a two-stamp 1847 Mauritius cover. The Ward collection, now stashed in the silver vault of New Orleans' Whitney National Bank in 93 wooden boxes the size of whisky cases, will be broken up and sold piecemeal. Weill hopes to sell...

We must honestly say to Atlanta that time is running out. If some concrete changes for good are not made soon, Negro leaders of Atlanta will find it impossible to convince the masses of Negroes of the good...
...present height of 6 ft. 5 in. In high school he scored 3,066 points. An honor student, president of the Missouri Association of Student Councils, Bradley sifted through something like 75 college offers, at one point had almost decided on Duke; he even signed a "letter of intent" to accept a scholarship. But then he started rereading college catalogues-and decided that Princeton was brainier. "I don't want to end up as just Old Satin Shorts Bradley," he explained at the time. Duke Coach Vic Bubas only sighs and clutches his chest. "Every time I hear...
