...reaction will be fury at the wrong priorities that spending $5,000,000 on a painting involves. Who can say that the boy would not be right? In a city that has a Harlem and a Bedford-Stuyvesant, and is already stuffed to superfluity with exceptional works of art, pride in acquiring yet another multimillion-dollar painting is merely an index of fetishism and decayed conscience...
...living in Long Beach and nudism was still considered risqué. In their search for an outdoor health spa, Hocker and his wife Ann stumbled on nudism. "We were the talk of Long Beach for a long time," recalls Ann (equally nude), her eyes gleaming with a certain mischievous pride. After four years Hocker quit his job as a cost analyst with the Ford Motor Co., bought Oakdale, an established nudist club just outside San Bernardino, and made nudism a full-time way of life. "You can't beat it," says Hocker. "It's so - natural. It just...
...their flights and arrange departures in sequence, with all passengers flying standby. As soon as one plane was filled, it would take off and another would be rolled out-like a shuttle system.

Vendors set up rows of gaily colored booths to sell buttons (WE'RE NO. l), pennants (ITALIAN POWER!) and other paraphernalia of prideful protest. Now, in the already shimmering morning heat, the buses came rolling in from Corona in Queens, Bensonhurst...
There were articles in magazines (TIME, April 5) and newspapers on Colombo; a lengthy story in a recent issue of New York analyzed Colombo's role as a catalyst for ethnic pride and an influence in New York City politics. To some observers, Colombo appeared to change as a result of the heady publicity: he started to view himself as a civil rights leader just as misunderstood by cops in New York as black leaders were by rural sheriffs in the South. Each of his successes?and some were formidable, even laudable?underscored his determination. But those same successes were...
