...Spanish painter Juan Gris once defined classicism as a perfect balance between the emotional and intellectual. In that sense, Louise and Joseph Pulitzer, Jr.'s collection reflects a truly classic taste. Most private collections mirror the collector in some way, revealing a conservative temperament or avant-garde spirit, sometimes a literary bent or romantic strain. Some, influenced by reputation or advice, reflect no intellectual activity other than faith.

Compared with the smallest of the Braques, Afro's immense canvases seem slight. They do reflect facility, sensitivity and a highly personal approach, but somehow their content never quite justifies their expansive delivery.

...should all pray for Billy Graham." In the current issue of the Jesuit weekly America, Jesuit Gustave Weigel, professor of ecclesiology at Maryland's Woodstock College, agrees. "Faced with the vast popularity and substantial shortcomings of Graham's 'crusade,' we can only sigh and reflect that we, like him, are also Adam's children, defective and half-blind ... It would ill become us to be harsh or cynical toward a man whose zeal and sincerity, even in a misguided cause, might shame many a lukewarm Catholic. Rather let us hope and pray that...
