...good old days when a painting was addressed to the eye instead of to the ear, when it spoke for itself and needed no explanation. Now vision is verbalized, and the honest artist is out of fashion-and out of luck. I might suggest that $30,000 for a mess of refuse from the town dump is a high price to pay for jargon. Happily, the wheel will turn...

Joined this time by a throng of adults, they headed downtown for a protest "interview" with Mayor Morrison. At city hall police again blocked the way, ordered them to disperse. Instead, the mob moved on to Carondelet Street, headquarters of the city's school board. There fire trucks backed up another police line, finally scattered them with billowing streams of water. All afternoon and evening, gangs of whites and Negroes prowled the narrow, ill-lit streets of the French Quarter, stoning...
