There has long been a tendency to repeat, without checking it against the pictures, Gauguin's irritable verdict that Pissarro was a good second-rater, "always wanting to be on top of the latest trend ... he's lost any kind of personality, and his work lacks unity." So although there has been no lack of Degas shows, Monet retrospectives, homages to Cézanne and museum tributes to Bazille or Caillebotte, Pissarro has remained less known-an irony, since, with his peculiar steadfastness and probity, he was the linchpin of the impressionist group...
Allen Breed, director of the National Institute of Corrections, contends that courts have been both too lenient with violent criminals, who tend to repeat their offenses, and too harsh on all the others. Breed argues that many of these nonviolent convicts should be living in halfway houses and serving in work programs, in which they would be required to reimburse the victims from whom they stole or perform community services.

The Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club opposed his appointment. But the HRDC board members missed the point: Brustein the theater director and English professor at Harvard would naturally feel more responsibility towards undergraduates than Brustein the graduate dean at Yale. So far, in his new post. Brustein has apparently assured most of the student theater community that he has an open...
...should be done-done with a clear historical eye, without pity or jingo or other illusions. It would mitigate an injustice and might even improve the nation's collective mental health. It would help to settle America's tedious quarrel with itself. Americans should be able to repeat Robert Lowell's line in a calm inward murmur: "My eyes have seen what my hand...
