...more prosperous would be charged a fee; a family with two children and an income of $6,960 a year, for example, would pay about $6 a week. The child-care centers would be run by local "prime sponsors" -cities, towns, counties or even such groups as Indian tribal councils. The price tag for the first year would be $2 billion, not vastly more than Nixon's own plan, but the President chose to veto it. He damned it roundly for "fiscal irresponsibility, administrative unworkabili-ty and family-weakening implications...
...Hopi Indians' holy spirits, sometimes personified by masked, dancers or represented by wooden dolls. Thus the Hopis protested when Kentucky's Ezra Brooks distillery hit upon the less than divine idea of marketing its bourbon in bottles shaped like kachina dolls. "How would a Catholic feel," asked Tribal Chairman Clarence Hamilton, "about putting whisky in a statue of Mary...

...curious fact that even in America, the masks, totems, clothes, paintings and beadwork of the 57 Indian tribes represented in this show were the last forms of "primitive" art to win general esteem outside their own tribal context. Only ethnologists were interested. The red man's images scarcely influenced white culture-unlike African art, whose impact on early 20th century painting was fundamental. Max Ernst collected kachina dolls, and Jackson Pollock, it is said, was interested in Navajo sand paintings; but as a rule, whether it was treated as knickknacks or, more decently, as ethnographical evidence, Indian...
