...conflict began last August with a busing order by Federal District Judge Nauman Scott in Alexandria, La. Scott redrew local districts to put 107 seventh-and eighth-graders from the all-white Buckeye High School-including Carbo, McNeal and LaBorde-into the area served by the racially mixed Jones Street School in Alexandria, 15 to 20 miles away. Only 22 of the students complied. McNeal and LaBorde joined the majority who enrolled in private schools. A bogus address enabled Carbo to stay at Buckeye...
Died. George Nauman Shuster, 82, Roman Catholic journalist-educator and president of New York City's Hunter College (1940-60); in South Bend, Ind. In 1951, Dr. Shuster admitted men for the first time as regular students to Hunter, once the world's largest public college for women. He wore many hats, editing the progressive Catholic weekly Commonweal for twelve years, working for UNESCO, which he helped create, and teaching English at Notre Dame, where he spent the last decade of his career as an in-residence savant and special assistant to the president...

It makes the most tedious of Warhol's movies seem like the chase scene in Bullitt. Every so often, Nauman inflects the monotony a little by putting the camera...
What remains startling is the urbane unoriginality of his work. Whenever an image or process appears in Nauman's show that looks vaguely interesting, one may be sure it was worked out years before by either Johns or Duchamp. So with Nauman's casts and templates of parts of his body, which are merely spin-offs and rip-offs from Johns in the late '50s and, more distantly, from Duchamp's own interest in molding. That some of these Naumans are made of neon tubing does not alter this, any more than the fact that some...
