...exhibit is the eccentricity of certain personalities such as Johannes Itten and Georg Muche who shaved their heads and dressed as monks, or Oskar Schlemmer's stage sets and ballets. Yet the imagination of Klee works, or even of a doll-house like representation of a Metal Exhibit (Joost Schmidt 1934) complete with boat propellers and model airplanes, shows the creative richness of the Bauhaus that encouraged a tradition in education as well as art. The Bauhaus brought art off its pedestal and seduced even the common Pygmalion; the Busch should bring such attractive nuisances up from the basement more...
...Cronk's case, Sommerness did not deny that beating was a possibility. But he attacked the newspaper instead of the problem. Hospital committees were formed to write letters to the newspaper's advertisers protesting the articles. "I feel so strongly about these articles," wrote Mrs. Wilma Schmidt, director of nursing, "that I would not be able to do business with any company that continues to support this type of sensational journalism. I'm sure many of our employees feel this way." A list of Weekender advertisers was posted on the hospital's bulletin board; people...
...even dozen, of course, is convenient for reckoning points of the compass or months of the year. Fourteen is a bother. Hence the two additional constellations, Cetus (the whale) and Ophiuchus (the serpent slayer), have been ignored. Not by Schmidt, who assigns each constellation 26 days instead of 30, making room for Cetus between Aries and Taurus, and for Ophiuchus between Sagittarius and Scorpio. Let the horoscopes fall where they may; his way, Schmidt argues, gives "a better guide to analyzing character...
...Schmidt, who was born on July 7 and was obviously dissatisfied at being designated a Cancer (sign of the tenacious, motherly and easily influenced), the change is eminently logical. The new line-up makes him a Gemini, "as might be expected, perhaps, of one who writes fiction and poetry by choice and edits scientific reports for a living." Other personalities, selected "at random" for proof that they are just as at home in the traditional horoscope, include such ''hardly wishy-washy" Ariens as Warren Beatty, Debbie Reynolds and Schmidt's brother, Jack (obviously better off as "strongwilled...
Essentially Irrational. Astrology 14 is not exactly moving either heaven or earth within the trade. Established astrologers like Carroll Righter, who built reputations and fortunes on a 12-sign system, dismiss Schmidt's theories as "meaningless." U.S.C. Astronomy Professor Gibson Reaves points out that "astrology is essentially irrational, and to try to give it such a rational, scientific explanation would spoil it for most people, anyway." Buffs like Clark Stillman, salesman at a Greenwich Village occult bookstore, complain that Schmidt doesn't ascribe any "elements" (air, water, fire, etc.) to his new signs or enhance them "for esoteric...
