...Kenneth Noland-their stripes and chevrons wedged uneasily into the conchoid spaces of New York's Guggenheim Museum-provides a dismaying lesson in how critical fashions change. It is not very long since No-land's work, along with the stains of Morris Louis and the peach-bloom surfaces of Jules Olitski, was assigned an authority close to that of Holy Writ. This, formalist criticism said over and over again in the '60s, is the way painting must go: it is the inevitable future...
...first impression is of peach-fuzz abstract expressionism-big, suave, one-color surfaces. But the sunset colors -mauve, rose, gray and a rich ecclesiastical red-are neatly tuned by Dine's drawing, which gives exactly the right definition to the edge of a sleeve, the correct visual weight to the shadow in a fold. It is beaux-arts drawing applied with a kind of gentle irony to the ma trix of abstract-expressionist style. Dine's older paintings of robes in the '60s were done with acrylic and house paint; they had the "industrial" look common...
...Springs was one of the few places in Georgia where most of the talk was not about Jimmy Carter. Roughly 125 men had gathered at the farm on a chilly night for the monthly meeting of the Chitlin' Club, founded in 1936.

...been a great few weeks for people who like to watch sports on television, but few of those bowl games have been very stimulating. One of my favorites was the Peach Bowl, broadcast on the afternoon of New Year's Eve by the Mizlou television network. Mislou had a nifty revolutionary device dubbe the "isolite," which consisted of a spot on the screen much lighter than the rest of the screen. Supposedly it was to show some significant move by one of the players, although in reality, it showed a large group of players converging in the middle...
Ever since Abner Doubleday paced off the first diamond, the horsehide and Louisville slugger have remained in their pristine state, although the introduction of the rabbit ball prompted a cascade of vitriol from Ring Lardner and his contemporaries. Basketball has altered little since Dr. Naismith tacked up his peach basket, and the essential changes in football have come in strategy...
