...Smith, who was thought of as primarily an architect at the time, witnessed the coming of age of the U.S. as a world art power in the 1950s. Many of the abstract expressionists who were responsible for that triumph were his friends, including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman. Smith designed the Long Island homes of Painter Theodores Stamos and Gallery Owner Betty Parsons. Not the least important aspect of the abstract expressionists was the size of their paintings. To force the spectator to become a part of their huge gesture paintings, leaders of the movement expanded their canvases...
...Barnett Newman, 62, better known as an abstract expressionist, has recently attracted attention with his sculpture. His 26-foot-high Broken Obelisk, now standing outside the Seagram Building, was built at the Lippincott Environmental Arts fabrication plant in North Haven, Conn. Newman supervised each step of the process, had to draw a sloping line across the top of the inverted obelisk to show workmen exactly where to cut. Then the base was "flame cut"-i.e., burned with a cutting torch, in order to leave a grainy pattern of vertical lines...

...taken his own time living up to his original billing as the next James Dean of 1961; director Arthur Penn started out on Broadway, and went on to make a series of inconsistent pictures including The Miracle Worker, Mickey One (with Beatty), and The Chase; and his screenwriters, David Newman and Robert Benton, have as their one claim to fame their book to the less than wonderful musical It's Superman. But somehow their collaborative efforts have produced a single work which, for each of its creators, overshadows all he has done previously...
When he tried to enlist in the Navy two years ago, John Michael Newman flunked the educational tests. A high school dropout, he joined the Job Corps instead, studied so hard that he was finally able to pass the service exams. Last week John Newman, now 18, became the seventh of civilian Carpenter Kirby Newman's nine sons to enter the Navy-making the Newman family the first in the memory of naval officials to have seven brothers on active duty at the same time. Idaho communities celebrated "Newman Day"; John's home town of Twin Falls proudly...
