...artist with less fearsomeness than Klee; his conventional signs for sun, tree, body or fish are so unpretentious, epigrammatic and neat that one accepts them at once-it seems churlish not to. But he was not a mysterious artist, and the pathos of his last paintings, like The Angel of Death, 1940, is really a failed sense of foreboding-failed, because his signs could hardly accommodate real fear.

Above the Morrises, Judds and Oldenbergs, lights still burn...
There is some reason for optimism. For the first time since "Teen Angel" hit the charts in 1959, the Indians may be able to outrun their perennial stumbling block Harvard. It was the Crimson who contributed Dartmouth's one loss...
