...strewn with his targets, from rich Black Panther-loving liberals to the editorial staff of The New Yorker. It was also dotted with the lucky recipients of his approval: mayflies like Baby Jane Holzer, cultish ephemerids like Marshall McLuhan and social grotesques like the collector-exhibitionists Robert and Ethel Scull, all festooned in yards of Wolfe's glittery, incontinent prose. He was the compleat '60s fashion plate, so much a part of the hustling, celebrity-obsessed triviality of the time that even now he can hardly be detached from it-a sort of two-dimensional Cocteau, with...
Meanwhile, Smithies continued to teach macroeconomic theory, scull on the Charles, lunch in the Kirkland dining hall, even be mildly provocative, if only because senior English majors in the House were taking general exams, on such moderately unlikely subjects as the poetry of T.S. Eliot '10. "My wife and I used to be very fond of Eliot--I think we still are," Smithies explained later, but at lunch, he didn't seem so sure...

Scull himself opined that a royalty of 1% on resale would be "reasonable," but that artists should really get their fringe benefits from museums, not collectors. "Museums," he told a reporter, "make their living on shows." ("And he doesn't?" was Rauschenberg's incredulous reply when told of this.) What this cynical proposal would accomplish would be to tax museums - and therefore art education - in order...
