...demonstration, which began simply as a rally to protest the dismissal of the friends of SNCC (the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee) as a campus organization and the firing of government instructor Mack Jones, who had been the SNCC group's faculty advisor, rapidly grew into a demand for wide-ranging changes in the University's standards and policies. By the end of the week of demonstrations and rallies, 400 students had marched four and one-half miles to the county court house, the Houston police had braced for a full-scale riot, and three of the protest leaders...
...Signal Oil & Gas Co., the Los Angeles-based giant (1966 sales: $1 billion) that aims to strike it rich away from the oilfields as well as in them, added Mack Trucks Inc. to a list of holdings that already includes 48% of American President Lines and Garrett Corp., a manufacturer of aerospace components.

Theoretician Gyorgy Kepes, a onetime Moholy-Nagy collaborator: "In everything and everywhere, we are surrounded by the technical factors that produce light, and we are no longer frightened by them...
...West Germany's Heinz Mack, 36, one of the Group Zero, abandoned painted abstractions in 1953 to study philosophy and logic for three years at the University of Cologne. Artistic illumination came to him in 1959, when accidentally, he stepped on a piece of aluminum foil on a sisal rug, was delighted with the light reflections on its newly embossed surface. Today he uses plastics, spotlights, rotors, polished aluminum foil and nubbled glass to recapture this "amazing, profoundly changing" phenomenon, says that "to me, light plays the same part that color used to play for painters...
