...Seminary students who wanted to do a study of life's greatest and final crisis. "When I wanted to know what it was like to be schizophrenic," Dr. Kübler-Ross told her callers, "I spent a lot of time with schizophrenics. Why not do the same thing? We will sit together with dying patients and ask them to be our teachers...
...never was as radical as it has been made out to be. For one thing, it is more readily accessible to the casual viewer's sensibility than the austere abstraction of, say, a Barnett Newman or an Ad Reinhardt. Its images, in fact, depend in part on instant recognition. Many of its subjects are the eternal themes of art-scrubbed, rubbed, varnished, stuffed and updated. Susannah and the Elders, an exercise in biblical voyeurism that has been painted by Tintoretto, Rubens and Rembrandt, becomes in Tom Wesselmann's rendition a pink plastic Great American Nude in her bathtub...

He left a Los Angeles advertising firm to work on the campaign and after Nix-en's victory...
...talented as an athlete than an actor, but to date, at least, he seems to have a better shot at an Emmy than at the Rookie of the Year award. Not that O.J. has been a flop on the field. Buffalo Bills Coach John Rauch boasts that the only thing his fleet young halfback cannot do is walk on water. After two fitful performances, O.J. finally showed his wares last week, carrying the ball 24 times for 110 yds. and catching five passes -one for a touchdown-as the Bills defeated the Denver Broncos 41-28.
