...School for Boys is the dumping ground for the city. Its machinery is run-down; its faculty is way too small. Since many students are just marking time in classes, incentives are low, and dropouts are high. Boston Trade Schol for Girls is straight out of a Charles Dickens novel. It occupies what was once a gracious mansion which has now become incredibly dilapidated. Cooperative work-study programs like the one in Dorchester High School offer courses only in upholstery, cabinet-making, and cabinet furnishing, though the demand for these skills has greatly diminished.

They usually get their wish. The co author of that salacious little novel Candy was billed as Maxwell Kenton until he was unmasked as Terry Southern. Mark Epernay was supposed to have written the pseudoscientific McLandress Dimension, a book measuring the ego capacity of prominent people...

Among the best...

He has been able to say, with the protagonist of Ellison's celebrated novel, "I am an invisible man...simply because people refuse to see me." But recently he has begun to be seen, really seen. In October, the City University of New York mounted a stunning and well-attended exhibition of 55 Negro artists spanning a century and a half. This month, a Manhattan gallery has offered a one-man show of 49 paintings by the late Henry O. Tanner--who was, however, able to find freedom...
