...visual games and illusions that opened last week at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts may not be the most profound art exhibition in recent years, but it is among the most exotic and diverting.

Over 900 citizens, mostly white and anti-busing, rode the paddy wagons to the local jails in the first two years after the court order took shape. Over 400 were prosecuted.
