...aspires to the condition of the brothel, but it cannot deliver the goods." At Jim Haynes' Arts Laboratory, every night is an esthetic Mardi Gras, and one obsessive concern of the "artists" is to make expressive art objects of themselves. They are human happenings, and as such may spell the death of art rather than its birth. For them, durability seems like death. Their credo is not "Life is short. Art is long" but "Life is short.

...directly to Maddox bearing nothing save the sender's name and one word-"Phooey." Already hundreds of Phooey-grams have been wired to the capitol, and Moore plans to kick off an entire Phooey campaign, complete with Phooey buttons, Phooey bumper stickers, and even a sky writer to spell out the word high above Atlanta's state capitol. And there's more to come, says Moore, since "we have not yet begun to phooey...
