Hayes assigns Andover's eleventh-graders stints in photography, painting and construction, uses the gallery's collection-rich in Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, Ryder and Bellows-for instruction, and turns the students loose in Andover's four-year-old Arts and Communications Center. He spices his classroom endeavors with as many as 30 shows a year, most of them "teaching exhibits," ranging from didactic displays on industrial design to such far-out spectaculars as last spring's "Feelies Show." In the latter, students were first plunged into a coal-black room, forced to grope their...

The swan-shaped boats on the ornamental ponds of the Boston Public Garden become mythological birds taking his grandfather, Arthur Winslow, beyond Charles River to the Acheron where the wide waters and their voyager...

The other three are of New York: "The Opposite House" and "Central Park" are brief, clear, and properly depressing...
...record that is not likely to be broken soon. Just before the Labor Day traffic jam, Pinellas County Prosecutor Alan Williams fired a hail of legal flak at Florida's aerial constables by refusing to prosecute one John C. Winslow Jr., charged with speeding over a bridge-causeway between Tampa and St. Petersburg. The prosecutor declared that he had no other choice because a state statute limits arrests without warrant to offenses committed in the arresting officer's presence. "I'm not criticizing the use of an airplane," explained Williams, "but a police officer [on the ground...
