Comics & Bubble Gum. The Whitney's curators found few artists portraying local flavor in the tradition of Grant Wood. What they discovered instead was regional groups with a common outlook, like the West Coast's "funk artists," whose gamy, gutsy assemblages have been shown in many national exhibits. Equally vigorous are half a dozen youthful Chicagoans who call themselves "the Hairy Who." As can be seen from Karl Wirsum's The Odd Awning Awed, the style of the Who is based on garish colors and art-nouveau line, draws its imagery from comic strips, bubble-gum wrappers...
...Supreme Court has now changed that. The case involved an Illinois local of the United Mine Workers, which had hired a lawyer to represent, without charge, members pressing workmen's compensation claims.

Next objective is usually, in the words of a 173rd Airborne trooper, "a girl." But, he added carefully, "I'm also very interested in the cultural bit. I figure I may only be coming this way once...
...time, it looked as if the kid was headed for trouble. He and his pals raised quite a bit of hell, hanging around pool parlors (where Bob became a pretty good hustler), swiping things from the local stores. He straightened out soon enough, and for a while sold newspapers on a street corner. John D. Rockefeller used to come by in his chauffeured car every day to pick up his 20 paper. One rainy afternoon the old millionaire handed Bob a dime. Hope had no change, so he offered to trust Rockefeller for the money. "He wouldn't hear...
