...observed this talented and qualified senior from afar. The graduating-class book of that year is a chronicle of the young Robert Finch-everything from president of the senior class and letterman in sports to star of the senior-class play (Death Takes a Holiday). But my most vivid recollection is, I am sure, one of his very first quotes by the news media (Inglewood High Sentinel): "One of the things I most admire in a girl is clean elbows."

...scrap a car, and trucked it to his old chicken barn, which he now uses as a studio. Dismembered, refurbished, equipped with programmed flashing lights and one lone girl passenger rapt in some dream of her own, Subway now transforms one wall of the Janis gallery into a vivid simulation of the flickering trauma of underground travel...

Decked out in soft brown and nuzzling together like cattle, the rows of theater seats are concentrated reminders that the playgoer is in an edifice indigenous to the Southwest, a vivid memory link with the adobe hut and the Alamo. Aided by the Ford Foundation ($2,400,000) and bolstering that grant with $900,000 from the pocketed dimes of children as well as the black gold of oil, the people of Houston have much more to show for the money than...
