...desire to be as free of preconceived ideas as possible has allowed Gerassi to paint in a number of different styles. There are very abstract red blotches on green backgrounds that have an affinity with Pollock and the Rorschach tests, as well as recognizable still lifes and landscapes.

Today there are 1,500 families in Emanuel, the dominant Jewish congregation in Dallas. Its leaders include Banker Fred Florence (Republic National Bank), Papermaker Lawrence Pollock (Pollock Paper Corp.), Merchant Prince Stanley Marcus (Neiman-Marcus), all of whom take Texas-size pride in being civic leaders and Dallas boosters. On Friday the temple was dedicated to the congregation itself, on Saturday to Judaism as a whole, on Sunday to the entire city of Dallas. "That...
