What, in art, is real? The question is as old as Plato and as new as the Museum of Modern Art's summer spectacular, called "The Art of the Real." The museum's show consists of 33 to total abstractions, on the argument that only objects professing to be nothing but themselves are truly "real." The older, more obvious and far more common interpretation, of course, is that reality in art is achieved by copying "real life." Stirred by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg, a mini-renaissance of this older school is taking place...
Denny & Dizzy. Pitchers' performances have been as spectacular as the hitters' have been horrific. It was only seven years ago that Warren Spahn topped all National League hurlers with an earned-run average of 3.01; this year there are 69 pitchers with lower ERAs than that. Three pitchers-Detroit's Denny McLain (record: 17-2), San Francisco's Juan Marichal (15-4) and Cleveland's Luis Tiant (14-5)-all have a shot at winning 30 games, a feat last accomplished by Dizzy Dean in 1934. Tiant, the All-Star game loser, has an incredible...
...Princess (Diana van der Vlis) makes a spectacular entrance riding a Honda montorbike in a sliver lame pants-suit with a blue choker and helmet. Rosaline (Denise Huot), in a navy blue suit and white boots, also arrives on a Honda (which, at the opening performance, nearly sailed over the footlights and into the audience), while the other two ladies, Maria (Kathleen Dabney) and Katherine (Marian Hailey), appear on foot. The Princess' courtier Boyet (Thomas Ruisinger), in a blue jacket with yellow handkerchief, white ducks, bow tie, and black-and-white shoes, is a U.S. Southerner with a duly droll...
Despite the spectacular displays of student rebellion at U.S. campuses this year, the annual convention of Students for a Democratic Society last week assessed its present situation with far more gloom than triumph. "We sniff the air," said one S.D.S. officer, Carl Oglesby, "and there is a trace of the devil's presence that wasn't there last year." Many of the 900 vociferous delegates at Michigan State University seemed to be convinced that the U.S. is in a "prerevolutionary" stage in which the forces of conservatism will use violence to stamp out change. They treated reporters covering...
...Hofheinz has a new spectacular: Astroworld. It opened last week, a 57-acre amusement park near Houston's Astrodome and still another of Hofheinz' ventures, a convention center called Astrohall. Yes, it rained on opening day. Such attractions as a simulated sleigh ride down the 65-ft.-high Der Hofheinzberg and most of the boats to carry visitors through a Lost World Adventure were not functioning. The next night, the Astrowheel-the world's first futuristic Ferris wheel-groaned to a halt, marooning 40 riders high above the action...
