...academic department, while the second was simply unsatisfactory. Under the first plan one could major in Afro-American Studeis only in theory; in reality, one would major in Government, or History, or Physics for that matter, and minor in Afro-American Studies. The second program, drawn from the model of combined fields like the Social Studies Department, is unacceptable because it does not allow for generation of courses--a specific recommendation of the Rosovsky Report.

He lives five months of the year at a farm on Black Lake in the St. Lawrence River valley. He poses his sculptress wife or a model nude on soft, contoured upholstery because they are more comfortable that way, and occasionally, he incorporates the softly rolling contours of hills seen through a window because "I guess I'm trying to say how much they're all alike, chairs and women and hills."
