...genteel men and women" who strive to keep their schools nonpolitical. Despite their diverse resources, Kozol says that many of them offer children only "unimportant options," such as a choice between working with "bright and whimsical gadgets" like a packaged science game, or doing "their own thing" at the weaver's loom and potter's kiln. To Kozol, these choices are not really free, at least not in any way that genuinely matters. Instead of confronting their students with moral dilemmas and social problems, these schools offer only "the pretense of free choice within a carefully constructed framework...
...sampling the sights of Moscow and Peking, Presidential Adviser Henry Kissinger turned up in Hollywood, accompanied by his children and two other tourists, Soviet Ambassador Anatoly F. Dobrynin and Mrs. Dobrynin. They trooped through the Universal Studio, and the children got autographs from Rock Hudson, Dean Martin and Dennis Weaver. Then Dobrynin tried a little acting of his own.

Their pitching, by a conservative appraisal, is almost strong enough to sustain the pennant drive alone, with no help form the offense...
...much influenced by reading the memoirs of an Oglala chief (Black Elk Speaks), landscape ought not to be separated from the way American Indians perceived nature: as an assembly not of dead earth and dumb plants, but of sentient presences. Some of this comes through in paintings like Star-Weaver, with their panoramic veils and zigzags of light, their flecks of paint that suggest flowers, mica deposits or dust: a soft immanence, vulnerable and pantheistic. Unfortunately, Wofford overworks his paintings. The light stiffens into crusts of inert pigment. But if the picture surface is sometimes cluttered, the effort to complicate...
