...very powerful dark field nudes and interiors (e.g., Le Foyer, #37, or Femme Au Bain, #31); in XIII, a colored, proto-abstract landscape series. In the central room, divided by partitions, the smaller, more casual works have been mounted in groups, much as they would have appeared on the wall of a late nineteenth century room. Flowers on console tables bring out the color of those monotypes which have been reworked with pastel. A few chairs help to enhance this pleasant evocation of an interior...
...acknowledge the pioneering efforts made by New Jersey-born Allan Kaprow, 40, who a decade ago began creating recognizable environments. One of the earliest was his 1962 Words; it consisted simply of random words lettered on pieces of paper that spectators were invited to staple at random onto the walls of a room. The idea, Kaprow explains now, was to create an intentionally sloppy, three-dimensional roomful of random art, in the abstract expressionist mode of the 1950s, when the wall-filling action canvases of Jackson Pollock were already being referred to as "environmental painting." Kaprow was also reviving...
...Miss Susan Wall, 69, stood accused of killing a woman because of a grudge. The prosecution was confident of its case, and had a star witness who had driven Miss Wall to the victim's home shortly before the killing.

And last week the market quickly shook off the subsequent dip prompted by the Federal Reserve Board's increase in interest rates. The advance carried the New York Stock Exchange index of all issues traded on the Big Board to a record high of 54.26, up .87 for the week. "The only thing capable of reversing the prevailing psychology," says Analyst Robert T. Allen of Shearson, Hammill & Co., "is a complete breakdown...
WHICH is not to say the production lacks a sense of designed visual coherence. Although the settings themselves (for which no program credit is provided) are neither beautiful, flexible, nor functional--consisting largely of sliding stair units and walls bearing faded and indifferently rendered Egyptian wall motifs--the use Chapman makes of them is bold and consistent. Given an almost unnaturally broad and shallow stage, he has chosen to arrange almost every scene as a balanced static composition, varied only at moments of true dramatic necessity. The effect seems to me to be entirely intentional, and it works splendidly...
