That sort of talk does not endear Brooke to the militants. Some hotheads in the rights movement virtually accuse him of being an Uncle Tom. To millions of other Negroes, his image is blurred at best. Because of his pale skin, his Episcopalian faith, his reserved New England manner, he is looked upon as what might be described as a "NASP"?the Negro equivalent of the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Only two of his 19 Senate staffers are Negroes, because Brooke refuses to hire people on the basis of race; to many Negroes that in itself is grounds...
...pale colors and excited forms of the Mannerists are well represented in this show by the paintings of Bloemaert, Cornelis Van Haarlem, and Honthorst and Terbrugghen--with rich colors and deep chiaroscuro effects (contrasts of light and dark) are also fairly well sampled, as are the Italianate canvasses, including paintings by Poelenburgh and Nicolaes Berchem.

The present has deservedly rewarded Nabokov, now 67, whose novels in English-The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, Bend Sinister, Pnin, Lolita and Pale Fire-have placed him in the highest rank of contemporary writers. These books stimulated a demand for the au thor's total work, so that most of his earlier Russian novels have now completed the journey into translation...
...bought the wild paintings of Georgio and miscellaneous cohorts--she was their patron goddess. Her top-floor studio which led onto the terrace and pool, was hung with eleven portraits done by thankful young admiring artists she had helped. Not flattering ones only. In one she was a pale-green mermaid, with an ochre heart, but still with her own silky orange hair. At 45, her bikinied figure was a source of envy to those of her female contemporaries prone to envy...
