...story depicting the use of Nathan Glazer's book Affirmative Discrimination as a tool of anti-busing and other seemingly reactionary forces. The book, which effectively documents some of the excesses and contradictions of affirmative action programs, should serve as a warning to those who attempt to expand the scope of these programs, such as Harvard's to an extent that they become laughable--but much worse--legitimately vulnerable to the criticisms of those who would have them dismantled altogether...

Beginning with Edvard Munch, the Norwegian whose eye for wood's texture and potential color (take a look at "Moonlight") taught pattern and mood to his followers, the exhibit includes the expressionists--works like Erich Keckel's "Two Men at Table" inscribed somberly and portentously "To Dostoevsky" --and winds up through the Bauhaus. The four Bauhaus portfolois (1921-1923) get Klee, and Feininger...
