...inadequacies and weaknesses just blare out at you," complained the young artist as he viewed his own one-man show at the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland, Me. Jamie Wyeth, 23, Andrew's talented and modest son, had hitched a ride with a lobsterman from his home on Monhegan Island, and almost wished he hadn't come. Even his 1967 portrait of the late John F. Kennedy was disappointing in retrospect. "I'm terribly unsatisfied with it," said Jamie, who never saw J.F.K. in the flesh and completed the portrait from photographs and extensive sketches of the President...
...public eye. There was nothing she could do, though, about the exhibit opening last week at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, which paid her the honor of exhibiting 65 photos of Hepburn in many of her greatest roles. There she was, the stage-struck young beauty in 1933's Morning Glory, the prim but game Rosie in 1951's African Queen, the indomitable Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1968's The Lion in Winter. Yet nothing could capture the essential Hepburn better than her pose in the 1939 Broadway production of The Philadelphia Story, as cool...
...Jewish, Gropius left Germany in disgust at the rise of the Nazis in 1934, worked in London for three years, then came to the U.S. In 1938, he accepted the post of chairman of Harvard's Department of Architecture, and the school quickly became the focus of young talent, including such now famous architects as Philip Johnson, Paul Rudolph, Ulrich Franzen, John Johansen and I.

A technical innovation...
...disciplined design with which Walter Gropius refashioned architecture Laszlo Moholy-Nagy sought to extend to every visible element in the human environment. The two men had been kindred spirits ever since Gropius visited Moholy's first exhibition in Berlin in 1922, and invited the young Hungarian expatriate to join his staff at the newly formed Bauhaus. Moholy's acceptance sealed a friendship, rooted in a rare meeting of minds, that was to last until his death...
Morse, whose father was once Senator Theodore Bilbo's law partner, began by recruiting several bright young Yale-trained lawyers for his faculty. To combat Ole Miss's "provincial outlook," he got the Ford Foundation to put up $500,000 for hiring more Yale teachers, plus 30 visiting lecturers from Harvard, Columbia and N.Y.U. The Morse mood attracted speakers like Charles Evers and Robert F. Kennedy, whose jibes at Governor Ross Barnett were cheered by 4,500 rebel students, among them sons of Mississippi's leading segregationists. At one point, the Ole Miss law school enrolled...
