Questions like this seriously worry many members of the Faculty and Administration. How much will the influx of money threaten the autonomy of the university, or on a smaller scale, alter its operation? How much will federal funds affect the balance between different disciplines? But, though reservations are strong, it is clear that universities, Harvard included, want more federal money and that they will fight to get it: when President Johnson proposed that the NDEA program of student loans be substantially changed, universities yelled like hell, and, along with other affected interests, actually won a major modification in the President...
...Commissioner Thomas Hoving, who takes up his new job as head of the Metropolitan Museum of Art next April.* Last week, at Hoving's request, the threadbare lawn of Manhattan's small Bryant Park behind the Public Library blossomed forth with a temporary display of eight large-scale (10 ft. to 16 ft. high) examples of Smith's stark black architectonic art. It is not the artist's first case of double exposure. Last December, he was given simultaneous one-man exhibitions-indoors by Philadelphia's I.C.A. and outdoors by Hartford's Wadsworth Atheneum...
...even think of his works as sculpture at all. They are merely exercises in basic design, similar to those that he requires from his students at Manhattan's Hunter College. He built each piece originally in tiny paper tetrahedrons, octahedrons or dodecahedrons. After that, friends constructed the full-scale mock-ups in plywood and painted them with automobile undercoating (only three have been cast in steel). The results, Smith feels, should be called simply "presences...
...reasons vary, Within weeks of the speech the President was caught up in the series of decisions that led to the large-scale introduction of ground forces into Vietnam later that summer. The address at Howard was in a sense his last peacetime speech. Thereafter, one would assume, his mind was increasingly pre-occupied with war in Asia. This did not entail any backtracking on the commitment "To Fulfill These Rights," but it did mean that the White House was not going to think up a program to do so. The energies of that tiny group at the apex...
Watts also threw off the White House, which found the moment for the conference "To Fulfill These Rights" almost upon it, but with no adequate preparations for a full-scale meeting. It was decided to hold first a small planning session. This met in November in an atmosphere of near frenzy over the report, which was all the militants seemed able to think of: indeed, at one of the plenary sessions the secretary to the conference felt called on to announce, "There is no such person as Daniel P. Moynihan...
