...Brian Tate, professor of government at Corinth University, is a brilliant, stuffy fellow, wickedly mocked by his own short stature. Wendy, a boneless counterculture chicken enrolled in one of his graduate courses, is unaccountably but irrevocably daft about him. He is flattered but sensible; 46-year-old professors do not (or should not) have affairs with students. Yet she clings, adores and listens in damp fascination to his explanations of foreign policy...
...Gambier, Ohio. Widely acclaimed for his poems, which were distinguished by compressed emotion expressed in courtly rhetoric, Ransom was also an influential teacher. As an instructor at Vanderbilt University in the 1920s, the Tennessee-born Rhodes scholar shepherded the Fugitives, a flock of young Southern poets (including Allen Tate and Robert Perm Warren) who celebrated the virtues of Southern agrarianism in defiance of the machine age. In 1937 Ransom moved to Kenyon College, where he attracted such poets as Randall Jarrell and Robert Lowell, and fathered the New Criticism, which stressed rigorous textual analysis rather than the study...
...labored in a solitude, a vacuum of response, which might have crushed another artist. But it may be that Dadd's enforced seclusion helped sharpen the obsessive quality of his inner vision. Behind bars, time and detail never end. The evidence is up in London's Tate Gallery this summer through August: poor Dadd's first one-man show, more than 200 oils, watercolors and drawings, including a series of mysterious "sketches for the passions" that record Dadd's tormented self-examinations and still belong to Bethlem Hospital. Almost all his known work...
...work of an artist. Certain conclusions may then be drawn as to his qualities." And how may one assess fame? On points. An artist gets 300 points, for instance, if he sells a work to the Museum of Modern Art or the Met, and so down through the Tate Gallery (200), and the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Turin (160). For a one-man show at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm he gets a 300, but one at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris is worth only 75; a show at MOMA brings 450, but a retrospective...
Congressmen are aware that, in the latest measurement by Louis Harris, they rate lower in public approval than the President himself. If impeachment is primarily a political act, the prospect can only distress those who worry about the low es tate of politics these days. Of course, low politics is undeniably present, with some adamantly for or against impeach ment for partisan reasons. But the majority of Representatives are now waiting for the framing of the charges by Attorneys John Doar and Albert Jenner, majority and minority counsel respectively, to the Judiciary Committee. Just as there are high crimes...
