...Thomas? Founding of the University of Chicago, the Art Institute, the Museum of Science & Industry? TIME has dispelled all doubt [Sept. 3]. The glad tidings that Claudia Cassidy is getting the hell out is easily our cultural apogee. From here on, the only direction we can go is up. Paint her as purple as her prose, change her name to Claudia Caterwaul, and turn her loose in the emerald pastures we have all, for endless years, prayed she would soon retire...
...cameras photograph Ho Chi Minh's missile sites. Its sensitive in struments help police to identify paint smears on hit-and-run victims, enable conservationists to check traces of water pollution in fish. Its products helped in the creation of the first atomic bomb, also made possible the production of synthetic penicillin and vitamin B12. All of these tasks-and many more- are the business of a little-known Connecticut company named Perkin-Elmer Corp., one of the fastest growing members of the fast-growing scientific instrument industry. Variety has paid well for Perkin-Elmer: last week it reported...
...Painting the Teeth. Almost one-third of the people of the U.S. get their water from wells or small private supplies, where fluoridation is not practical. As a substitute, considerable benefit can come from having a dentist paint children's teeth with stannous fluoride every three years. But this is no national solution, say Dr. Hodge and Dr. Smith, because there are not enough U.S. dentists (100,000) to do the whole job. As for adding fluorides to salt or food, the intakes of these are even more variable than the intake of water. There is not enough medical...
Stubborn Gentility. At the Académic Julian, with its ateliers crowded by easels and nudes, the young Yankee drank in the French artists' sense of professionalism. He also suffered from a nonacademic thirst for painting nature directly, out of doors. Soon he was outside, capturing with rapid brush strokes the luminous sparkle of Paris streets after quick cloudbursts. Detail dropped out. Against an overcast, his clusters of black umbrellas suggested swollen, devilish halos. Unlike Sargent, Whistler or Mary Cassatt before him, Hassam returned to the U.S. after three years in France. He settled in New York, rendering...
Last April, when Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art gave a black-tie party to celebrate the opening of its "Three Centuries of American Painting" exhibition, Edie and Andy stood cheek by jowl with Lady Bird Johnson, Mrs. Vincent Astor and Harry Guggenheim. Andy was wearing yellow sunglasses and a ragged tuxedo jacket over paint-splattered black work pants. Edie had dyed her hair silver (to match Andy's), wore lilac pajamas that covered nothing but a body stocking. Since then, they have gone to more parties than a caterer, sometimes staying for just a moment before moving...
