...think it ought to even be written in their contracts. I don't think they have the right to say they are or they're not, because they are. And they ought to accept that...
...except for the ceremonious care with which the paint has been deposited) and blue. In the sky hangs a thing like a bladder, with a thin black line dangling to Earth: the ''flower.'' The ''rabbit,'' a sort of yellow Shmoo, regards it from below. There is nothing else. It ought to be ridiculous, but it is profoundly haunting, full of an indefinable melancholy provoked by what Miro identified as the main motif of his work: ''tiny forms in vast empty spaces.''

Rogers responded that Baptists can believe what they wish, ''but those who work for us ought to reflect what the great majority of us want taught.'' The moderates intend to keep fighting on, convinced, as one put it, that ''religious dictatorship cannot halt biblical scholarship.'' Moore insists that when lay Baptists realize what is happening, ''you're going to see a sure-enough rising...
