...A.F.L.-C.I.O. opposes revenue sharing because it doubts that state legislatures will spend the transferred funds in ways that will benefit urban workers. Other liberals have shared that fear, but it has faded greatly as reapportionment engendered by the Supreme Court's one-man, one-vote decision has made legislatures increasingly responsive to urban and suburban needs. Further redistricting on the basis of the 1970 census should create more city and suburban seats in legislatures; that would further weaken the chance of an anti-city bias in the spending of shared federal revenues...
Resentments. By all odds the best of U.S. sports cartoonists, Mullin is currently having his first one-man show on Long Island (a Mullin also hangs in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art). Eight times he has been voted best U.S. sports cartoonist and in 1954 was awarded the "Reuben" as the best of all cartoonists in the country. Later this month, the National Cartoonists Society will honor him as "Sports Cartoonist of the Century." Then Mullin will retreat to virtual retirement in Florida and do only "whatever work climbs up on my drawing board that...
ENDS. Bill Atessis, Texas, 6 ft. 3 in., 252 lbs.; and Jack Youngblood, Florida, 6 ft. 5 in., 246 lbs. Atessis is the charging bull in the Longhorns' defense, a kind of one-man stampede. Texas Coach Darrell Royal calls him a "superplayer, who hasn't played a bad game in three years." As another coach puts it with telling simplicity: "He just gets out there and stirs folks around." Florida's Youngblood creates a different kind of havoc. Deceptively fast for his size, he reads screens and swing passes so adroitly that he intimidates quarterbacks...
Oscar Epfs was the euphonious name of the painter whose one-man show just closed at the Librairie Marthe Voshy in Paris. Only eight of the 40 pictures were sold, but that was pure velvet to Artist Epfs. He is actually Lawrence Durrell, author of the Alexandria Quartet, and it seems that he has been painting since 1930 ("but never every day, only by attacks") in a style that ranges from Impressionist through surrealist to abstract. What made him decide to have the show? "You can give just so many away. Friends really don't want any more...
...most likely candidate, so far, is a tousle-haired Englishman named Elton John, 23. Because he burst on the U.S. scene only four months ago, it is too early to tell whether John is a superman. But he is certainly a one-man music factory with a rich bag of assorted talents. He plays piano with the urbane primitivism of a Glenn Gould thumping out variations on rock 'n' roll's Jerry Lee Lewis. His singing style ranges from a Mick Jagger snarl to a delicate, insinuating plaint that recalls Jose Feliciano. As a composer, John...
