...future. Watergate is finally interred. Above all, after 13 consecutive years of assassinations, race riots, youth rebellion, Viet Nam, political scandal, presidential collapse, energy crisis and recession, the nation's mood seems optimistic again. Today's leading scandal-sex on Capitol Hill-seems comparatively harmless. Louis Tucker, executive director of the New York State Bicentennial Commission, believes that "the Bicentennial is acting as a kind of catharsis. It's become a way of clearing the American soul in a very positive...
...course, I said the same thing about Tanya Tucker when she started out at age thirteen. Her latest is called Lovin' and Learnin' (MCA), and she may get plenty of the former, but she can use a lot more of the latter.

Her selections seem meant to prove that in the past decade sculpture has advanced historically by denying its own material essence. Moreover, "with a few exceptions," she declares, "present-day sculpture has generally rejected anthropomorphic, transcendental, nostalgic and metaphysical content...
...successful intervention will break the back of the Arab oil monopoly, slash oil prices and thereby put an end to the current depression ravaging the world economy. Sactimonious protests aside, both the developed and Third World countries will accept this result with great--if covert--gratitude. Because, argues Tucker...
