...makes orderly, symbolic art. "I grew up amid action painters," he explains, "and my reaction to all that is symmetry-order in a very strange world." Now teaching a course at New York University and co-director of the School of Visual Arts, he has a chance to preach what he practices. "People are no longer interested in what Mr. Green says to Mr. Red," says he of abstract expressionism, so he began making constructions that, at their onset, look like Playskool peg toys (see opposite page).

We may hope like hell that Floyd Patterson can work his way up the heavyweight ladder, defeat Clay, and then quietly preach the Urban League doctrine from the throne. Or, we might wish for the good old days when fighters fought, kept their social and religious convictions to themselves, and left the civil rights movement for quicker minds to deal with...
