...basic motif of these prints is racing circuits. The places the new prints are named after-Imola in Italy, Pergusa in Sicily, Talladega in Alabama-are all professional speed tracks; their plans, sinuous and flexing, are echoed in the serpentine calligraphy of the images. Naturally, though, they are much more than layout. Stella's drawing, in a print like Pergusa Three, has a kind of wristy expansiveness; its loops and contours recall 1930 Picasso, as does Stella's elegant play with collage in the lacy patches within the curves. At times, as in Talladega Three II, the printed...
...MORE AMAZING THAN EVER! Actually the book is at least seven months out of date--not only is Aaron relegated to a footnote, but Mario Andretti is still credited with the highest average speed lap on a closed circuit track, even though A.J. Foyt broke his record at Talladega, Ala., last August. But anyway, the McWhirters themselves--they are Oxford men, after all--are more restrained. In their more modest opinion, the annually revised Guinness Book maintains a fairly constant level of amazement. "We worked out the categories for the first edition." Ross says proudly, "and we haven...
Epps arrived at Harvard in 1958 via Talladega College, a small, black school in Alabama, where he majored in psychology. He later received a degree at the Divinity School. In 1963, he became an assistant dean of the College, serving an apprenticeship of sorts under John U.

Epps describes himself during this period as a "back-bencher" at meetings of the Administrative Board...
Defying Jim Crow. No man seemed better fitted to head C.C.N.Y. than Buell Gallagher, who took the job in 1952. An ordained Congregational minister, he had spent ten years as president of Alabama's predominantly Negro Talladega College, where "we lived together, Negroes and whites, without any distinction, defying Jim Crow." He had later taught ethics in California and served as assistant U.S. Commissioner of Education. As a scholar, administrator and civil libertarian, Gallagher zealously defended C.C.N.Y.'s academic excellence and fought hard to meet the rising educational aspirations of the city's growing Negro and Puerto...
Epps went to a Catholic high school and then received his A.B. at Talladega College in Alabama. His academic interests are as diverse as his activities outside the classroom. He studied religion at Harvard, is presently a teaching fellow in Middle Eastern Studies, and, at twenty-seven, soon plans to finish his Ph.D. in Social Relations...
