Late last spring, a man named Cristo--the one who stretched an orange curtain across a canyon (pictured in Life) and wrapped up the Contemporary Art Museum in Chicago like a birthday present--revealed plans to stretch a long wall-like fence across the Marin Country peninsula, north of San Francisco. He ran into a lot of problems in his attempted ramble from Susuin Bay to the Ocean--not the least of which was that his route included a national seashore. The project fizzled, and all that remains are his plans. These are being presented, until October...
Nature Poet. This meant that his sense of sharing a project with others, crucial to any experimenter, had to be found at home. The only audience was other artists-the group around the "291" Gallery, including John Marin and Marsden Hartley, presided over by Photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who was, in Sherwood Anderson's words, "father to so many puzzled, wistful children of the arts in the big, noisy, growing and groping America." Like other "291" artists, Dove was a nature poet: he never contemplated going to the extreme of "pure" abstraction. "I can claim no background," he once reflected...

Yet Donovan was still not satisfied. In January, "the basketball robber," as Donovan is called by envious competitors, traded for Marin and Matt Goukas...
...first round of the playoffs, the Braves will face the best running team in basketball, the Boston Celtics. Until last month, Buffalo had lost 22 straight games to Boston. But that was before the pivotal trade for Marin and Goukas. Since then the Braves have defeated the Celtics two out of three times, taken two of three from New York, and stunned Milwaukee 145-109. "We can play anybody," boasts the bullish Ramsay, "and beat anybody." Besides, if the Braves fail this year, there is no telling whom Eddie Donovan will add to the lineup next fall...
