Last weekend almost 100 SoHo artists opened their studios to the public in a festival designed to muster recognition and support. The party was somewhat subdued out of sympathy for the antiwar demonstrations in Washington. Some artists left town to join the protesters; others hung out black crape along with festive streamers; and Dancer Yvonne Rainer led a solemn death march through the streets. Nevertheless, thousands of visitors trudged up and down endless flights of stairs to see paintings, sprayed-water "street sculptures," light shows and dramatic performances that ranged from the inspired to the inane.

Thus, the chief roadblock for the anti-Douglas forces is getting the issue through a committee and then to a vote before the full House. The Judiciary Committee considers formal resolutions of impeachment, but it is headed by liberal Democrat Emanuel Celler, who is expected to favor Douglas. Consequently Ford, seeking a more receptive forum, proposed a step that would be considered by the House Rules Committee under conservative...
