...draftsmen's tools than with paint rags, to trim their walls with Surveyor's lunar photographs than with models of the Venus de Milo. But each artist still reflects his personal style in his habitat. George Sugarman, who creates boldly colored abstract sculptures, works in a spartan loft equipped with power sanders and gluepots. Claes Oldenburg's huge apartment is in a perpetual clutter because, as Nesbitt points out, "Claes likes to have a lot of things around so he can stumble over them. There is the same sense of unexpected confrontation here that there...
...Nesbitt never shows any artist in his studio. Instead, he makes the room evoke its owner. He deliberately included the softness of a paper bag on Nevelson's workbench to emphasize the hardness of the wood blocks next to it, angled his view of Charles Hinman's loft so that its slanting half-opened window and rolls of drawing paper tilted against the wall suggest the dynamic diagonals that characterize the shaped canvases that Hinman produces.

Though he looks hardly more aggressive than Peter Sellers, Bellinger began his protest career during World War II by refusing to register for the draft, spent a total of three years in prison for his principled recalcitrance-and last week entered the cooler again, puffing a cigar, after his arrest at the Pentagon...
...Reminiscing about 1964 on educational TV, Goldwater confided: "We had every cable of every television company and every radio company marked up in the loft of the Cow Palace. If anybody got a little too obnoxious to us, they could always have cable trouble." Next day on ABC Barry explained that it was all a joke. "There never was any thought of cutting lines," he said...
