Artistic rebels in a specific way. Rather than altering the pictorial elements of their work, they added expressive intensity to their vision. The plot, the actors, and the props of the drama in their pictures do not represent the most significant aspects of their artistic progress.

In a 7-to-2 decision, the court struck a blow for union seniority systems and weakened the basis for so-called past-discrimination suits. Through such suits minority-group workers have won retroactive seniority over whites...
