Joseph Rauh Jr., a Washington lawyer active in the fights against the Supreme Court nominations of Clement Haynsworth and G. Harrold Carswell, was the first of several nationally prominent speakers to address the conference...

Artists as diverse as Dan Flavin, Kenneth Noland, Clement Meadmore and Alexander Liberman had been deeply affected by the radical openness of his art and his brave, grumpy polemics.
