...never knew but one artist who could resist the temptation to see things as they ought to be, rather than as they are, and that's Tom Eakins." Walt Whit man was one of the few people who had anything good to say about the cold-eyed and ruthlessly honest Philadelphia realist. Aside from the poet, whom Ea kins portrayed in 1888 as a twinkling old sage, few people could stand having their character laid bare with the visceral objectivity that Eakins brought to portraiture. He used his brush like a surgeon's scalpel, exposing old wounds, concealed...
...Primitivism. Others, however, see the trend as deeper and longer-lasting. Says Pete Johnson, former rock-music critic for the Los Angeles Times: "With Sgt. Pepper, records got really artsy-craftsy-more cerebral than gut. You had 15-minute rock symphonies and huge, long, pretentious albums that you had to listen to 20 times to understand.

A Twins scout came out to see him play in a doubleheader one day, and Carew responded by whacking a single, five doubles and a grand-slam homer. He soon had a Twins contract in his pocket, was called up to the parent club in 1967 after only three years of minor-league ball. Hitting over .300 by midseason, he was the only rookie picked to start on the American League All-Star team. He wound...
This year will see a revival of an old programming concept. It is the anthology, a collection of unrelated programs grouped together under an overall name (remember Playhouse 901). Once, anthologies ruled the air, but over the years the series took over the schedule, leaving only an occasional anthology show...
