...Your vivid story on the art of Kenneth Noland [April 18] reminds me of a visit to the Vermont farm in South Shaftsbury now owned by the artist and his wife. I was in search not of Mr. Noland, whose painting was then unfamiliar to me, but of the former home of Robert Frost, which the Nolands have renovated and restored. This was The Gully farm, purchased by Frost as a Christmas present to himself in 1928. A barn close to the house had been converted into a studio for Noland...

Giving responsibility to tutors would be a more complete remedy for the arbitrary grading in Gov 98 then the partial measure the department...
From the day he was born in Brooklyn Heights, N.Y., there was little doubt that Paul would be involved in new and unfamiliar art. His father, Poet Louis Zukofsky, saw to that. Paul started on the violin at age four. After a year of study with Ivan Galamian (TIME, Dec. 6), Paul made his professional debut at eight with the New Haven Symphony. Meanwhile, his parents had stopped sending their prodigy to school after the first grade, partly because they felt they could do a better job tutoring him themselves. They did. At 13, Paul won a New York City...
