In "Euphoria," Peter Max poster colors vie with Matisse-like cutouts in a sort of Lucy-In-The-Sky jazz visual. A Japanese short which follows uses dolls to narrate a Japanese folktale about two hunters who sever the arm of a demon while hunting, and return home only to find their ancient mother bleeding to death in demonic anguish, with a missing...

The two are hardly men, nor are the rabble of other lewd cavaliers, truly Phylissa's menagerie of beasts...
...Affirmations" with a liturgy and a lunch of jug Burgundy and ham-and-cheese sandwiches. Besides Cox, the task force included Black Theologian Preston Williams of Harvard, a Chicane theologian from California, a local pastor laden with preliminary documents for the World Council of Churches assembly, and Social Ethicist Max Stackhouse of Andover Newton Theological School, who edited the various drafts of the pronouncement...
