...order that the reservoir be drained after an environmental impact study is concluded. But the town's farmers are determined to fight such an order in the courts. Says Don Bones, president of the Citizens' Committee to Save the Littlerock Dam, Inc.: "Without water, Littlerock would revert to the desert it was 100 years ago. It would wither and die." It appears that Littlerock will be damned if the courts do approve drainage and dammed if they...
...over the past ten years has had much to do with the slow realization in America that serious art is indivisible, that the mere fact of being American does not conscript a painter into a doomed Oedipal struggle with his European ancestors, that the battlegrounds of art history soon revert to pastures. There is no secret about Motherwell's sources: cubist collage, surrealism, Matisse.

In contrast to the whiz-kid executive syndrome of the '70s-a direct result of the baby boom-the reins of power will revert to older hands. For the middle-age, middle-management sector, there will be fewer shots at the top, though there will be more titular promotions and merit raises to reward the faithful. On the positive side, lessened competition may result in heightened creativity. People may concentrate on doing what they...
