...dilemma between the federal and local presence," says Louis Nunez, staff director of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. "Our society has left crime to local police. When should the Federal Government step in?" The answer is when local police and prosecutors fail to perform their duties in a color-blind way-and before such injustices arouse the equally outrageous resort to killing, looting and burning...
Weingarten plans to focus his new property more narrowly on the arts, introduce a new design and make more generous use of color. He says, "There is a traditional interest among Saturday Review readers in books, movies, theater, recordings and cultural travel, like the Cannes Film Festival. The magazine has not been talking to those interests." Though proud of Saturday Review's heritage, Weingarten insists he is not embarked on a sentimental journey.

...characters keep orbiting Ignatius' girth. There is Burma Jones, a young black who has to take a low-paying job at a Bourbon Street strip joint or be arrested for vagrancy. As a sidewalk shill for the acts inside, Jones seeks his revenge: "Night of Joy got genuine color peoples workin below the minimal wage."

This sense...
...sold to Japan in last week's Garbisch auction, to alternate with a highly decorative form of cubism. "Decorative," of course, is no longer a cuss word, and his best flat-pattern cubist paintings of the early '20s, with their gravely shuttling collage-like overlaps of bright and dark color, are marvels of pictorial intelligence. The two versions of his Three Musicians, 1921, show what Picasso could do when his sense of form was fully engaged. The classicizing drift of the early '20s took its most explicit shape in the Three Women at the Spring, 1921. Their dropsical limbs resemble...
