Complex Truth. If the sessions were long on rhetoric and short on concrete solutions, they did produce two specific results. A second meeting is scheduled for Washington, D.C., next year, and in the interim a manifesto will be drafted demanding that "working journalists" participate in their employers' decision making...
Passionately and erratically combining scholarship with manifesto writing, Novak begins his argument with a rather familiar counterattack. The WASP model for behavior has got to go.

Oldenburg, at 43, is one of the most avidly collected artists in America. The reasons have little to do with the Pop ballyhoo of the early '60s; firmly independent of movements, he has been trying for the past six years to get clear of the narrow...
