...sensation of being watched by a three-eyed, large-footed smiling female form, whose physical balance is as precarious as the barbell forms floating and swinging around her. Done on a white background with black objects, the work recalls the Japanese brushpainting and calligraphy that influenced many of the surrealist artists. The seducing elements of Miro's works are the imaginative and playful gesturing that he performs on the canvas...

In the hope of easing that nightmare, Klebanoff and two other Boston psychologists, Stanley Klein and Maxwell Schleifer, have just published the first issue of a new bimonthly called The Exceptional Parent. The magazine offers advice to help "exceptional" children live full lives-not in segregated centers but "in the mainstream of their communities...
