...Nixon inaugural medal shown at the bottom of the cover is the official medallion approved by the new President. The sculptor was Ralph J. Menconi, and the medal itself was struck by the Medallic Art Co. of New York. The three-quarter view of Nixon's face is a departure from the traditional presidential profile. The reverse side of the medal is also something of a novelty: instead of being the standard reproduction of the Great Seal of the United States, it is a sculptured rendering of the crewelwork seal that Julie Nixon gave her father as an election...

And there's Morris Louis, whose name and stripes of color are better known at Harvard than is Mirko. The action painter, the flat painter, the minimalist, the happening-creator, the sculptor of simple geometric forms at superhuman scale (Tony Smith, for one)--these are the fantastically novel stars...
