...Over the past two years, we have all benefited tremendously from Phelan's five-year plan to improve the VES program. Recent visiting faculty members include sculptor Joel Shapiro, performance artist/dancer/filmmaker Yvonne Rainer and photographer Boris Mikhailov; renowned director Hal Hartley and photographer Nan Goldin, along with many others, will come to the program next year. Working with these artists has provided us as students tremendous insight into the practice of the visual arts, opportunities to discuss our work at a professional level of criticism and connections with many artists with whom we will stay in touch after...

...within the Roosevelt family and Congress stopped depiction of F.D.R. openly seated in his wheelchair. The National Organization on Disability declared war, pleading that Roosevelt be honestly and proudly shown. With the support of former PRESIDENTS FORD, CARTER and BUSH joining with Clinton--and $1.65 million from private citizens--sculptor ROBERT GRAHAM fashioned the new figure. On a wall behind F.D.R. are words of wife eleanor: "Franklin's illness...gave him the strength and courage he had not had before...and infinite patience and never-ending persistence...
