...Kind Words. The most impressive battery of expert arguments brought together since the debate began appeared in modest lithograph form. It was a 340-page report by 16 scientists and other experts organized last February by Senator Edward Kennedy, a leader of the ABM critics. Jointly edited by M.I.T. Provost Jerome Wiesner and Harvard Law Professor Abram Chayes, the study included a paper by a Nobel laureate, Physicist Hans Bethe, as well as contributions by Arthur Goldberg, Theodore Sorensen, Bill Moyers and other veterans of service in high places. As expected, since Kennedy commissioned the review, the report contained...
Nowhere perhaps is this more vividly seen than in his 1896 version of The Sick Child (see color pages), a marvelously sensitive evocation of his elder sister Sophie, who died of tuberculosis when Munch was 14. In fact, the lithograph of The Sick Child is essentially a detail from a larger oil that Munch had painted some ten years before. The painting showed the child upright against a pillow, with her aunt, head bowed, next to her, but the lithograph zeroes in on "the trembling lips, the transparent skin, the tired eyes" that had inspired him in the first place...

Brooding over this, Ingersoll replaced it at the last minute with a lithograph of Hitler playing a devil's organ from which hung his naked victims. Luce was displeased at such heavy-handed propaganda, but told Ingersoll : "Spilt milk-let's not discuss...
...Across the street a weird little Indian store, Kamala Devi, carries authentic demons and Buddhas and down in Brattle Square Zecropia sells wonderful Zodiac posters. Schoenhoff's, on Mass. Ave. between Plympton and Linden Streets, carries one of the best collections of reproductions of prints and paintings. Reproducing a lithograph or print is a relatively minor prostitution since the works were originally meant to be printed many times with paper and ink. Lacking the inscriptions and camp tone of many original posters, they often seem to be more serious work and are not quite as lively...
SOME of the frottage pictures deny the technique rather than capitalize upon it. "Forest, Sun, Birds" is a lithograph-like combination of oil and frottage, Great dark shafts of stylized trees, with glimmers of yellow and blue for shadow and sun create the forest. A large blind eye and the desperate outline of a baby bird, containing a subtle light ambiguously suggests the life within the bird and a clearing in the forest...
