Allowing for a bit of hyperbole, that much is clear from the show itself. Except for a few minimal sculptures, Pop brings Geldzahler's show to an abrupt end and, surprisingly, it takes its place comfortably enough as history. What has happened since 1965, the cutoff date Geldzahler chose for established talents, would be another show entirely, a free-for-all with kinetic and light sculptures, environments, photo-realists and cold figuratists, the shadowy, sensitive light works of Los Angeles artists, the foolish funny funk art of San Franciscans, and the esoteric conceptual fantasies of the young reactionaries...
Many human beings convert only 1% of their cyclamate intake to CHA, and so minute a quantity might well be harmless. But for unknown reasons other, equally "normal" people convert as much as 40% to CHA; if they are heavy users of cyclamates, the resulting high dose of CHA might cause cancer or other diseases. Like countless other chemicals, cyclamates also cause breaks in the chromosomes of both man and animals, but the genetic significance of these breaks is not yet known...
...except the President who appoints him. By performing some of the more arcane maneuvers in the realm of finance-raising or lowering bank reserve requirements, buying or selling Government securities-the Federal Reserve controls the supply of credit and the level of interest rates. It thus largely determines how much interest the consumer must pay to borrow for a new house or car, how much the businessman must pay to borrow for a new hamburger stand or a steel mill-and whether many kinds of loans will be available at all. By influencing the rate of business expansion, the board...
...past 18 years, the seven-member board has been headed by William McChesney Martin, 62, who has become almost as much a fixture in the capital as the Washington Monument. But his term in the $42,500-a-year job ends on Jan. 31, and by law he cannot be reappointed. Last week President Nixon announced his choice as successor to Democrat Martin. The new economic maestro is Arthur Frank Burns, 65, a self-described "moderate Republican," a longtime close aide of Nixon, and a stubborn anti-inflationist. For at least the next four years, the nation's money...
...contrast, Bill Martin over the years has been much more worried about the perils of recession. Martin's real hallmark at the Federal Reserve was a willingness to switch from easy-to tight-money policies and back again as he thought the situation required. He cooperated with the expansionist policies of President Kennedy when the nation's economic problem was sluggish growth and persistent unemployment. In late 1965, however, he refused to accept Lyndon Johnson's line that the U.S. could escalate the Viet Nam war, keep taxes and interest rates down and still avoid inflation...
