...white America the black artist has worked largely in a vacuum. He has been able to say, with the protagonist of Ellison's celebrated novel, "I am an invisible man...simply because people refuse to see me." But recently he has begun to be seen, really seen. In October, the City University of New York mounted a stunning and well-attended exhibition of 55 Negro artists spanning a century and a half. This month, a Manhattan gallery has offered a one-man show of 49 paintings by the late Henry O. Tanner--who was, however, able to find freedom...

Also, economics cannot exist in a political vacuum, and the two systems are light-years apart philosophically. The Soviet Union is a socialist state that still controls all the means of production-and it has no more intention of changing that situation than the U.S. has of embracing it. Moreover, the Soviet state holds virtually all the power...
...conduct." In fact, there is scant likelihood that either house will pass anything resembling a workable code of ethics this session. Despite all the demands for a tough code, Congress has dawdled too long to agree on anything so sensitive. Thus, for yet another year, it perpetuates a moral vacuum in which standards of conduct are a matter for the independent judgment of the legislator...
