...dungaree-clad London housewife, Frink had her first exhibition while still in art school. Last week her tabletop bronzes were on view at Manhattan's Bertha Schaefer Gallery. At first glance, many looked like mud attempting to fly; they were that energetic and that saggy. The combination said something blue about man's estate, the approved tone of most contemporary sculpture.

...underdeveloped nations, while at times it appears that we haven't really decided whether we are competing or not. We must realize that some sacrifice is necessary. We can't do all the things necessary for the U.S. to do -in this country and abroad-and still proceed on the 'business-as-usual' basis. One of our first sacrifices must be a willingness to accept higher taxes, if necessary, in order to accomplish our purpose of keeping America ahead of the world on all counts. We won't do it with fizzling rockets or lowered...
