...many thousand canvases produced in the last 20 years have echoed the muscular writhing of brush marks, the suffusing, arbitrary color and the dense, pasty, almost edible pigment that Monet, in 1918, incorporated into The Willow? In a study of African lilies growing beside his pond, the "modernity" of Monet's vision becomes even more pronounced. There is no horizon line; the fragment of reality he chose tips and squashes itself against the picture plane. A whole historical style is predicted in the vibration and flicker of yellow light on the water, the excited scribbles round the lily pads...
...this way. Boudin's influence on his incomparably more gifted disciple was strong, and it can be seen as late as 1870 in the pearly sky, sand and sea of Camille Monet and Her Cousin on the Beach at Trouville. But the broad slap of Monet's brush and the vigorous striping of the girls' dresses have already gone beyond what Boudin had to teach...
...warehouses, offering foam-rubber mat beds, showers and rock music for 80? a night. Copenhagen is another In place. City fathers have opened new youth hostels and "youth cities" of cot-filled army tents where boys and girls, not always segregated by sex, can do more together than brush their teeth.

...until a year ago. Meriwether explains that his high school in Charleston, S.C., had no track team, and the football team had no use for "a guy who was 6 ft. tall and weighed 135 lbs." At Michigan State, where he studied pre-med on a scholarship, his only brush with organized sports was a few hot games of volleyball. The first black accepted into Duke University School of Medicine, he specialized in blood diseases, and in 1969 took a job at the Baltimore Cancer Research Center. While caring for and becoming "personally involved" with young leukemia victims, he says...
ROCKY'S sorry plight typifies the state of the 16,000 wild horses, or mustangs, left in the United States, most of them barely subsisting in arid brush country in ten Western states or, like Rocky, languishing in pens. Descendants for the most part of proud Andalusian horses brought to the New World by Spanish conquistadors 400 years ago, they are the only remnants of herds that as recently as 1900 numbered in the millions. If nothing is done to protect them, conservationists warn, there may be none left...
