...Your Essay, "Breaching the White Wall of Southern Justice" [April 15] is a responsible effort to explain a complicated problem. 1 was particularly interested in your discussion of segregated juries. One approach is to challenge them county by county in federal district courts. But this is slow, costly and painful. With Phillip Burton of California and Joseph Remick of New York, I have introduced a bill that would employ federal jury registrars and use a population sampling system to insure that juries represent a cross section. Whatever formula Congress adopts, essays like yours encourage enlightened debate...
Shortly after we moved into Straus C. 32 freshman year, Christopher Pardeo, high-jumper extraordinaire, stretched a bring from one wall to the other, high above his photo sequence of Valery Brumel. "What's that?" I asked naively, even feet," said Pardee...
...what is a wry commentary on the flagging pace of Paris painting, the most sensational artist at the moment is Jean Dubuffet, who frankly prefers a drawing by a lunatic to one by Leonardo, patterns his painting on the world of children, wall scratchers, psychopaths, the self-taught and simpletons.

...more subtle, less scrutable. The pieces are of equal value and the strategy is full of Oriental guile. Using the intersections rather than the squares, players attack at widely separated points, worry less about capturing opponents than establishing outposts that can be used eventually to wall in territory. At the outset, the board is empty. In alternating moves, the weaker player (who uses smooth pieces of black slate) and the higher-rated player (who uses pieces of white clamshell) set down their stones. Once played, a stone remains in place-unless it is surrounded and thus captured, in which case...
Otherwise, Russian Adventure ignores the seamy side of life east of Berlin's Wall. The pace is "strong, steady and fast" in Moscow, where citizens enjoy sumptuous subways and cold winters. "But Russians say it's a dry cold," Crosby adds informatively. So much for insight into the Soviet character. While a multiple sound track booms musical punctuation, the movie visits several dazzling acts at the Moscow Circus, peeks at the shipboard dissection of a giant whale, lingers over the familiar, gravity-defying virtuosity of the Moiseyev dancers and the Bolshoi Ballet...
