...recognition of geriatrics' special place is not coming fast enough to satisfy Gerontologist Cowdry or swashbuckling, iconoclastic Geriatrician Edward J. Stieglitz, 57, of Washington, D.C. Complains Cowdry: "Medicine has shunned geriatrics. It has viewed the elderly patient as a bad pay risk. It has misdiagnosed and maltreated him." He estimates that fully 30% of mental-hospital inmates over 65 have diseases no more "mental" than partial paralysis, heart trouble, untidiness, nutritional problems, or high blood pressure...

Dove, painting on a Connecticut farm, soon earned a first of his own; he was the first to dispense altogether with representation.

...still in his 20s. A trip to Paris in 1907 dizzied, delighted and diverted him from the ranks of dull respectability. Sparked by the ideas of the cubists and the fauves, he came home to join the circle of young pioneers around the great photographer and art impresario, Alfred Stieglitz. Already in Stieglitz' stable were Alfred Maurer, Arthur Carles, John Marin, Marsden Hartley and Max Weber. They all knew they were good, though the public had no inkling...
