...which representation was first blurred, then distorted, then broken into fragments and finally disappeared altogether in abstraction. The artists arrogated to themselves (as did the poets at the same time) the right to say what art was, with the added inference that if the viewer (or reader) did not understand it, that was his fault. "It was as if suddenly," says Painter Robert Motherwell, "an established church had dissolved. Each artist became his own self-ordained priest, charged with deciding for himself such questions as what is god or what...
...accounts. In any case assessment of these accounts as of all such ancient texts is first of all a question of the most sophisticated kind of expert study and at this level should be left to the specialists. Historians of the rise of Christianity have long known how to understand and appreciate the midrashic or legendary "mistletoe" that attached itself to the early records. Amos N.

Meanwhile, other educators are stumping the state explaining what the suggested cutback would do to education. California residents understand very well that Reagan has suggested jettisoning a principle they have always taken for granted: the availability of free college education for their children. But administrators both in the universities and the state colleges are pointing out possible harms that probably never occur to the average Californian. The budget cut, they say, echoing Kerr, would preclude admitting any more students, although 10,000 more prospective students apply to the university each year; it might possibly dilute the quality of training...
