...little boxes by Joseph Cornell. He places Victorian mantelpiece objects., medicine bottles, and birds behind glass or a wire, closing them into a three dimensional space, like a tomb. These boxes seem to be the only attempt to frame three dimensional space in the context of the flat vision of the new American painting, but even this sort of ? D picture is lifeless compared to the original space of the abstract works...
...structuring color into definite geometric shapes, Minimal Artists give color the permanent stability it lacks in the impressionistic canvases of Olitsky.

Israeli pilots who have flown it find that the Sukhoi reaches a Mach 1.6 speed, climbs at the rate of 23,500 ft. per min. and can carry 3.5 tons of ordnance...
WHILE I was lying there flat on my back there was plenty to keep me busy. I noticed they put white paper cloths over the legs of all the girls, presumably to keep the men of Harvard from looking up their skirts. My mistake was to look at the tubing apparatus. What a nice dark red tube they have going from my arm. I thought. Then I realized that was my blood. As I thought of that red stream flowing out of me. I felt just the slightest bit uneasy. But then I concentrated on the song WRKO was playing...
