Some art discoveries enrich and expand the work of a great individual; others can illuminate a whole period. The latter is the case with a group of eastern Mediterranean sculptures dating, scholars believe, from the late 3rd or early 4th century, and going on view next week at the Cleveland Museum of Art (see color page). Apart from their superb craftsmanship and miraculously undamaged state, what makes these marbles exciting is that they are among the earliest Christian statuary known. Their subjects are two favorite Biblical figures: the Good Shepherd and the prophet Jonah...

In another article, Political Scientist J. D. Williams candidly reports that the Mormon hierarchy appeared ready to endorse the John Birch Society earlier this year, but after pressure from one group of church elders, "stepped back from the abyss...
Recognition came late for Sculptor David Smith, and neither his manner, often truculent, nor his medium - gigantic welded iron and steel objects -did much to hasten his fame. Awarded a $1,000 prize at the 1961 Carnegie International, he refused the money, suggested that it be used by the museum to buy some art. "Sculpture has been a whore for many ages," he would...
