The pictures in his current exhibition at SoHo's Emmerich Gallery all involve the general experience, if not the detail, of landscape-not as seen by the eye's perspective, with sky at the top and earth below, but as though taken apart and rewoven into an expansive shifting pattern of space. Wofford, who teaches art at Bennington College, regards a visit he paid to the Southwest in 1968 as one of the key experiences in his work-especially some nights he spent camping on the edge...

Goldberg would discuss Vietnam with a small group of people selected by SDS; the discussion would be carried to auditoriums around the University through loud speaker and, perhaps, closed-circuit television. The Institute would prefer, Wofford and May said, that the meeting be "off-the-record"--that is, closed to newsmen...
