...source of Kelly's work is, however obliquely, the world of actuality, of things. In 1949, as a G.I. Bill student in Paris (where he enrolled at that crowded and fusty mill, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts), Kelly was browsing through an exhibition at the Musée d'Art Moderne. It bored him: "I noticed that the large windows between the paintings interested me more than the art exhibited." Afterward he made a construction, almost a scale model, of one of these windows, its glass panes and metal frame mocked up in canvas and wood. "From then...
...loaded hooks, the prosthesis fitted onto the stump of Dan Aycock's left arm two years ago was a substantial improvement over the ugly iron claw of earlier days. But the artificial arm still had a serious deficiency. Because Aycock, 38, who lost his arm in a textile-mill accident, was unable to tell how much pressure he was exerting on anything he was trying to pick up or use, he risked breaking the gauges and other delicate items that he handled on the job in a Louisburg, N.C., automobile agency. Now Aycock's problem has been solved...
Even the immediate settlement of the mill strikes (which does not seem likely) will not avert a shortage that may continue for three years. The problem is that while production of newsprint has remained about the same since 1970, demand has risen steadily. U.S. papers gobbled up 10.3 million tons of newsprint last year, an increase from 9.6 million tons in 1970; consumption for the first six months this year ran 5.4% higher than the 1972 rate. Caught flat-footed by this surge, neither U.S. purchasers nor Canadian suppliers see any quick solution. New paper mills are costly ($50 million...
...Sierra Staffer Jack Hession, "to catch the flak for everybody." Among its recent achievements: forcing logging companies to file environmental impact statements before they can cut trees in remote areas of the Tongass National Forest, delaying construction of several highways, and halting plans for a huge pulp and saw mill near Juneau...
...nothing like it since the World War II victory-garden movement. The Jack Hollons of Dallas are among the most prescient and ambitious of the amateur farmers. Anticipating a wheat shortage last fall, they planted a tenth of an acre - their front yard - last fall. They even tried to mill the wheat themselves but had problems. So they took their 100-lb. crop to a commercial miller, and Mrs. Hollon is still baking sourdough bread and making whole-wheat pancakes with the flour. Jack Hollon, a math teacher, estimates that the wheat crop and their vegetable garden have saved...
