...deserve sober contemplation. The apolitical, self-absorbed demeanor of many members of the present generation decrees that these social signposts be regarded as fads. Such a viewpoint belittles the cumulative impact of these Sixties trademarks. They exist now only in our memories, yet, at that time, all had a particular social purpose; none were merely inventions of an aberrant Madison Avenue mind. In his novel Home Free, Dan Wakefield reduces the symbols of the flower child era to cliches and stereotypes, and in so doing, he joins the ranks of those who wrongly dismiss the outgrowths of that period...
...Frontier Guard unit to impose a strict curfew from 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. on several villages. Anyone leaving his home or trying to enter the village during that time was to be shot. The curfew was announced at 4:30, leaving little time to warn the populace. In particular, many villagers worked outside the village, and there was no way to inform them of the new security measures.

If the President does not yield, however, the board meeting indicates that the hottest criticism...
...generalizations; only the human brain, apparently, can both sort out and recognize forms as complex as those of a face. But Close's big paintings, each head 7 ft. or 8 ft. high, try not to make any generalizations at all. Every feature is recorded in its tiniest particular, with the strange result that his subjects become almost unrecognizable - they are veiled by the surplus of information on the canvas. As a consequence, Close's works are among the most troubling icons of American art in the '70s. He is perhaps the only artist of his generation...
