...boisterous exclamations. Nevertheless, most of the things here are not high Dada. The studies of El Lissitzky, Max Ernst, Moholy Nagy, Malewich and Hannah Hoch more often reflect a kind of experimentalism which hovers tenuously in the nether regions of design, just outside the gates of one muse or another. Every so often, of course, a Mondrian or a Klee comes along who makes something of it. Then cometh the rear guard which inevitably ends up, again, indebted to the theories and left with little else...
...nose by the Philadelphia Museum. This week the Los Angeles County Museum had something worth crowing about. Up on the wall of its softly lighted Spanish Gallery went a handsome new acquisition with a resounding title and glamorous history: Portrait of La Marquesa de Santa Cruz as Euterpe, Muse of Lyric Poetry by Spain's famed Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes (see color page). For generations in the hands of the Dukes of Wellington, the Muse is also a handsome tribute to the scholarship, energy and tenacity of bustling 41-year-old Richard Fargo Brown, who in three...

Robertson's points lifted his game average to 32.1, second in the nation only to Chamberlain's 32.2, led Coach George Smith to muse: "You know, this is the first time we ever let this guy loose." On the loose again two nights later as his team smashed North Texas State, 127-57, Robertson scored 35 points, squeaked past Chamberlain with a game average of 32.3. The New Yorkers were convinced.
