...general, a coolly gifted pilot and co-author of two basic manuals on test flying. Stafford has logged 290 hr. 15 min. in space, dating back to ins first Gemini flight in 1965 with Wally Scinrra. In orbit, Math Winz Stafford liked to amuse inmself by using pad and pencil to race mission control's computers in solving maneuvering problems; sometimes he won. Stafford was born in Weatherford, Okla., and he and ins wife Faye have two daughters. Though often nettled by Soviet secrecy during preparations for tins week's mission, he managed to handle difficult situations with...
...tenor who has starred in four past Gilbert and Sullivan shows, is singing at one end of the room. Standing in front of him, next to a working piano, is Karen Krag '76, the music director and conductor for Princess Ida. Krag is singing along with Fuller, using a pencil as a baton, and swaying from side to side with the rhythm of the music. Her long, thick hair is plaited into two golden brown braids. Dark, almost black, eyebrows give character and distinction to regular features and pretty blue eyes. She looks like a blonder, less painted, Maple Syrup...
...friends who have gotten together for a good time. As the chorus finishes a passage, Krag smiles and says, "Beautiful!" then reminds the singers to emphasize diction and watch their pronunciation of consonants. She asks them to do the passage again and remains seated while she conducts. Only the pencil she is again using as a baton distinguishes her from the rest of the cast. Gratto, the director, is seated in the semicircle with the chorus. She is filling in for several sopranos who are out with the flu and she makes up with gusto and expression whatever she lacks...
...Calendars, a charcoal drawing in the exhibition where ambiguous forms interweave and recede into the background. Although Gorky's manipulation of abstract shapes is imaginative, his portraits display a more impressive versatility. Portrait of Vartoosh (his sister with whom he fled from Turkish Armenia) makes use of uncommonly bold pencil lines that stand out individually and blend to form a unified composition. Gorky chooses a different approach for the portrait of his mother. Here there are no discrete lines; the features are formed by altering the intensity of the charcoal. His careful regulation of tonality enhances the sullen quality...
...Kooning's portraits are equally fascinating. Portrait of Max Morgulis displays great sensitivity to the intensity of the pencil line. Subtle changes in pressure lend a delicacy to the face, which seems to emerge quietly from the paper. A less representational series of pen and ink drawings are devoted to the female form in relation to its surroundings. In Figure in Interior the human body is absorbed by bold black strokes that envelop it. The woman in Untitled, 1967, is swept up in the rhythm of the lines as one might be carried off by a hurricane...
