...skillful rococo colorist named Joseph Blackburn arrived from England. He immediately became an established painter in Boston and his work had a profound influence on Copley's portraiture. Blackburn's colors were light and gentle but the elegance of Blackburn's style drew out of Copley the sensitivity as a colorist which characterizes all of his later work.

Their moonlighting ends in a mock-Shakespearean finale. While Montalban overacts outrageously, Ford fires bullets along with a somewhat more lethal...
...Joseph Pediosky, assistant professor of Mathematics at M.I.T., and William Watson, associate professor of History there, refused to sign the oath last fall, calling it an "unjustified deterrent to free speech and belief."
