...most vehement charge leveled against Willis is that he is stubbornly unresponsive to Chicago Negroes' demands for desegregation of the public schools. In Chicago, even more than in most U.S. cities, whites and Negroes live apart, in separate neighborhoods. That has been the pattern for generations. Since each child attends the school in his own neighborhood, most Chicago public schools are either predominantly white or predominantly Negro. About 90% of the city's Negro elementary school pupils attend schools that are virtually all-Negro. And Negroes charge that for Negro children, education is not only separate but unequal...
...talked endlessly of the riches that lie away from the sea, beyond the Andes. To open up the area to farmers and livestock producers, he talks of a new $216 million highway with almost mystical fervor. Another ambition is to start communal self-help programs, following a pattern set back in the old Inca empire days...
...Kingsport next ordered Syncom to fire its hydrogen peroxide rocket to correct the slow eastward drift, and actually days will pass before Syncom's delicate guidance apparatus will jockey it into an exactly synchronous orbit. Then it is supposed to swing gently in a north-south figure-eight pattern, crossing the equator over the Atlantic Ocean while radiomen below test how well it can relay messages between distant points on the distant earth...
...Fare Short. Gilbert was born in 1906 on a little farm near Ethel, Mo., and even the town fits the pattern-its population was close to 300 then, is now about 250. When he was eight he started working on his father's horse-drawn delivery wagon. After he finished high school in 1925, he got a job with an Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe signal gang, working along the tracks from Missouri to Chicago. Earning $22.56 a week, pretty good money in the mid-1920s, he married his longtime sweetheart. Bent on settling in Chicago, he went...
Ghostly Shapes. In his most recent work, Anuszkiewicz often uses three or four colors and a simpler geometric motif. Each painting has its internal rhythm, which is measured like bars of music. One yellow and grey painting has a pattern of grids, some of which are quartered, some cut to sixteenths, and so on. In other paintings, stripes or threads of different colors run over a common background to form diamonds and squares that emerge not as solid forms but as ghostly shapes coming out of nowhere. Some have the misty delicacy of a rainbow; others glow like fluorescent light...
