...National Scholarships at the Medical School, awarded to incoming members of the first year class who show outstanding ability and promise but who could otherwise not receive a medical education, in the past have been awarded mostly to men.

...fields of poison green and fetid lilac that deck his backdrops to the calculated white ejaculatory splats that he lashes across the legs of his subjects. There is hatred and hostility in Bacon's vision, but of late it seems to be mellowing. Nothing in his current show comes near to matching the insane intensity of his screaming popes of 1949-53.
