He need only refuse to be drafted, like Muhammad Ali, or burn his draft card, like David O'Brien, whose conviction has just been upheld by the Supreme Court.

The paintings "Black Family," "And Still the Champ" [Muhammad Ali], and "Nude in Black" even suggest Modigliani. And several of his sculptures in the show are exquisitely crafted, such as "Black and Beautiful" and the delicately slim "Lovely...
