...Valley begins its long, level stretch to the northwest, crisscrossed by moist fields of newly seeded cotton. Dotted across the farm land are the horse-head beams of oil wells pumping riches out of the ground. Water rolls through the locks and valves of a vast irrigation network. The lush valley has been drilled, plowed, fertilized, sprayed and pummeled into productivity by a succession of determined refugees from Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas and by a sprinkling of Armenians, Italians and Basques. The people still work the land hard for a living. Bakersfield, a city of 74,000 and the seat...
Kalkilya is a Moslem community of 10,000 on the West Bank of the Jordan River, 13 miles northeast of Tel Aviv. During the Six-Day War, Israeli soldiers overran Kalkilya, destroying half the town and uprooting many of its lush, productive citrus groves.

And it already has the Nixon thumbprint. Right straight out the window, down the knoll and across the drive, as the President's eye goes, there is the Sequoia gigantca...
...slipping off into one of the surrounding extremes. Pink Alert, the painting that stands at the entrance to the exhibit, demonstrates the original ideas executed at their best, with the edging strokes well defined, scaled and composed, and the gradation of the color field maintaining a lush, breathing "all-over-ness." But when the borders are reduced to chalk lines in the outer inch of the painting, they tend to slide down into the narrow recess between canvas and metal frame, and let the color field dissipate back into a flat canvas flatly painted instead of the ambiguous thing...
