Albright Art Gallery's coup of the year in acquiring Clyfford Still's Red and Black reveals a direction that should catch on-artist selecting museum instead of the old-hat method of museum selecting artist. As for the Museum of Modern Art's having to cool its heels for two years in order to own Still's work-good. They're such an impulsive group...
...this does not so much precipitate a mood as prescribe a method. One by one, each character is led up to the dark at the top of the stairs and revealed in his hair shirt. And each character's inner wound, however honestly representative, is dramatically a little commonplace. There is no enveloping mood to the play because there is recurrent parlor comedy and domestic vaudeville-things that instead of deepening the serious scenes emphasize them too much by contrast. Deeper chords never sound. The dark is there, truly enough; but it is much less terrifying, and even much...
...train commuting worth saving? To thoughtful railroaders and passengers alike, it certainly is, because in the growing tangle of U.S. urbanization, railroads are the most efficient method for moving commuters. But bigger fare increases alone are no real solution; they cause more commuters to use their own cars. Into Manhattan every day last year, some 18,000 more New Jersey commuters came by car than by rail.

A family turned down by a landlord and without an apartment may not have the time to pursue their efforts up to a court decision and through long appeals. Since the lack of a provision for punishing offenders will encourage some owners to see how long they can evade the law, subsequent amendments to this bill should restore the punitive fine...
