...Sculptor to Dean. The Office of Education is a tiny arm of the Health, Education and Welfare Department. Its chief job is to dispense about $649,000,000 a year in appropriations as Congress directs. Few of its 1,153 employees are first-rate, and none are high-paid. The commissioner gets only $20,000 a year, compared with $48,500 for the school superintendent of Chicago. Urgent suggestions that the office be made a Cabinet-level department have come from former HEW Secretary Abraham Ribicoff, former Harvard President James B. Conant, and many others...

...back as 1930, became convinced that the wave of the future in art lay in the U.S. and that the U.S. should start paying attention. And so, in 1945 he signed up Robert Motherwell and William Baziotes, packed them off to Florida to paint. Later, Adolph Gottlieb and Sculptor David Hare joined the list. Kootz refused to take Pollock, and when he began adding such foreign names as Soulages and Mathieu to his gallery (he has long been Picasso's U.S. dealer), some of his more American-minded artists left. But it is a fact that Kootz...
