...State Department they sometimes refer privately to Carter as "the missionary." His conduct-his human rights pronouncements, his visions of global disarmament, his policy of dispensing aid and arms according to his measure of the rectitude of various societies-sometimes does seem more emotional than practical. Add to that Rosalynn's and Secretary Cyrus Vance's Latin American entreaties on human rights and U.N. Ambassador Andy Young's thunder against white governments, past and present, and there are days when it seems we are getting nothing so much as a sermon...

Graphics I at 168 Newbury has an exhibit of Josef Albers who is almost sure to pop up on the 171 syllabus soon. Albers is well known for his squares within squares and his subtle tonal differentiation from square to square. The show includes these works called "Homage to the Square", but it features more prominently his "Mitered Squares" done in the last two years of his life. Again using subtle coloring and precise geometric figures...
