...Philip G. Pavia himself waves the new banner of forgetfulness, or "non-history": "Associating present sensations with past experience is normal and even necessary in everyday living, but such associations are poisonous in creating art.

We expect the same kind of dramatic discoveries from our artists that we do from our scientists...
...armadillo shell and houses a kaleidoscope of scientific and technical exhibits. Across seven screens -which take up one-third of the interior wall space-flash keyed sets of color pictures of U.S. life (e.g., seven cities, seven college campuses, etc., accompanied by Russian commentary and musical score).

Tomikichi Moriyama, 70, and his wife Toyono, 67, hand weavers, were delighted with the honor when it came two years ago. After all, only ten other weavers in Japan-most now too old for work-knew Kurume-gasuri] the Moriyamas' son Torao, like most...
...vital campus relation, to Wriston, is that in which the scholar tries to stimulate students to "the cultivation of a mind that seeks to express itself in its own way at its own best "evel."
