...Quarterman's portrait of a leather-jacketed girl. From the back and sides, the girl is whole and clothed, but the dummy is cut out in front to reveal her in successively diminishing images, one within the other. In the last and smallest, she is completely nude. New Yorker Lyn Wells has made a life-size portrait of a neighbor by printing back and front views on sensitized linen, sewing the two pieces together along the outlines and filling the space between with rock-hard urethane foam.

...sports biography, or perhaps, the sports profile, can be an amazingly interesting and worth-while form of journalism. When it is well done, as it is often in the New York Times Magazine, the New Yorker , and surprisingly, Sport Magazine , it can compare with any form of literature with regard to attainment of its avowed goal.
