Vienna-born, Koerner came to the U.S. in 1939, lives in a Victorian gingerbread-style house in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill section. His new pictures deal, often harshly and always provocatively, with the basic human condition, especially in America. As pictures, they have beauty, but their content is seldom beautiful.

...content with that alone. Lowell immediately went on to further academic reform. Within a year the College had adopted his plan for concentration and distribution, which took first effect with the Class of 1914.

...decide which man he wants to win. And, more significantly, this dilemma forces Rockefeller to concentrate on issues which emphasize his campaigning ability, his television sex appeal, rather than his political statesmanship. Furthermore, the positions he takes in such a situation tend to be chosen on crowd-pleasing content, for, campaigning to show "Nixon can't win," he himself cannot afford to take an unpopular stand...
