...casual, offhand rightness about material, color and meetings of shape, but it is not polemical. No proposition about the future of art is being shoved in one's face. Hence its unlikeness to New York painting in the '60s, to that clamor of nonnegotiable demands on the viewer's eye and sense of history. This is not a matter of good or bad, only of tone of voice, and Smith's discourse is so controlled, so free of aesthetic cliquishness and so fastidious in its loyalty to painting as a still valid medium that he must...
...weeks off but CBS is jumping the gun with BEACON HILL (Tuesday, 10 p.m. E.D.T.). The network does not merely admit that the series is based on Upstairs, Downstairs; it is positively insistent on the point. That is a sensible policy, since it is doubtful if the uninstructed viewer could perceive any connection between the engaging PBS bundle from Britain and its vulgar American cousin...
Obvious Situations. The Bellamys were by no means chaste, but they did have something else on their minds.

Condoms? Befuddled brains adjusted to the first-ever condom commercial on U.S. television. Viewers grabbed their phones. The KNTV switchboard was jammed all night. Unlike the vast majority of stations around the country, KNTV does not adhere to the National Association of Broadcasters' stuffy code of ethics, which bans over-the-counter contraceptive commercials. But it had aired the Trojans ad only after testing it on the station's own employees, including a Jew, a Catholic and a Baptist, all of whom found it inoffensive. After the viewer protests, however, KNTV General Sales Manager Jack Yearwood pulled...
Intrigued, the viewer tries to sense what it was about the fledgling school that raised support from such diverse artists It all begins to make sense with hindsight, because many of these artists eventually intermingled with Bauhaus faculty. Wassily Kandinsky was a famous Bauhaus teacher, so it seemed natural to see included in the show a lithograph by his ardent imitator, Rudolf Bauer. But Kandinsky hadn't yet arrived at the Bauhaus...
