...about and the direction their work is taking. It gives the reader a firm impression of the artists as well as the particular work under review, which is especially helpful when the author's name may sound only vaguely familiar. Particularly good were Jonathan Galassi's review of Richard Tillinghast and Peggy Rizza on Galway Kinnell. Their excitement over these authors was gracefully communicated and easily received; it can't help but make the reader interested in finding out more about their works. As a whole, the reviews are instrumental in giving a clearer picture of what's going...
This is why I realized several months ago that The Advocate is no longer disconnected from reality. It was the first week in October, and Richard Tillinghast was in Cambridge to give a reading. He had lived here for several years while writing his thesis on Robert Lowell, and then had moved out to Berkeley. Now he looked like he was from California. That night he read some poems which had appeared in the San Francisco Oracle, talked a lot about a book written by an Indian, Black Elk, and then a drug poem called "STP." There was a party...
...Artist Peter Hurd, the evening was particularly significant. Not only was he represented in TIME'S show with a portrait of Charles C. Tillinghast Jr. as president of TWA, but down the hall from the TIME exhibit another of his paintings had just been hung-a portrait of Lyndon Johnson, the one L.B.J. banished after labeling it the ugliest portrait he had ever seen...
When Hughes objected to the way the new trustee-appointed management was running the company, TWA's new president, Charles Tillinghast Jr. (TIME cover, July 22, 1966), engaged in a bit of preemptive warfare. TWA hit Hughes with a suit that asked $115 million in damages (the amount was increased later), and demanded that Hughes be forced to divest himself of his holdings in the airline that he had built from a middling carrier in 1939 to a major airline. Hughes hit back with a countersuit charging that Tillinghast and the lenders were conspiring to dispossess...
Charles C. Tillinghast, president of Trans World Airlines, last week called for industry-wide sessions on the crisis. He suggested shifting rush-hour flights to outlying terminals. More drastic was his proposal to end rush hour itself by changing schedules. By week's end the Civil Aeronautics Board authorized the talks. Airliners soon may be diverted at peak hours from congested airports, and passengers on peak-hour flights may have to pay premium rates. The industry blames the glut partly on private planes, but barring them from major airports would hardly dent the crush. At Kennedy, they make...
