...endure a decade. Soon Soyer was accenting the oddities of his features, while adding elements of costume that gave some of the pictures an air of caricature. His ears stood out more boldly and grew pointier, while a cone-shaped hat made him look like a solemn-eyed Chico Marx. When Soyer produced vast New York City street scenes in the late 1950s, he painted himself in a business suit, shirt and tie and posed, immobile, amid the crowds that passed through his pictures.

At 15 she was reading Darwin. Marx soon followed. After dropping out of the University of Illinois, she went to work for $5 a week for a socialist daily, the Call, on New York's Lower East Side.

Papers seen to crawl out of every available crack This tiny room...
When Marglin studied economics here as an Undergrad, he recalls, the department spent two days on Marx; one to present his theories, and one to explain why they were wrong. Ten years later, after reading Marx thoroughly, Marglin still reached the conclusion that Marx's broad theory was invalid, yet he refused to discard Marx entirely He, lime many radical economics, abandoned Marx's strict gospel in favor of newer theories Yet Margin charges few students of mainstream economics understand or appreciate this shift Otto Eckstein. Warburg Professor of Economics says there is not much non Marxist radical theory...
