...information in connection with Melanie Williams review of Spike Lee's School Daze (March 9th): Ms. Williams' observation that Blacks have recently begun to change their eye color to "blue or green in order to conform to the white standard of beauty" unwittingly plays into one of the subtlest games of misinformation that white racism has played on Blacks...
Although Orton is one of the subtlest of recent satirists, he cannot help hammering in some of his points. He uses this campy (excuse the pun) situation to mock post-World War political dynamics. Scenes smack with references to the French Revolution and the civil war in Ireland. While Erpingham views a crowd of insurgent campers, "La Marseillaise" can be heard from a distance.

No architect in America, not even Kahn himself, has reflected more sensitively on space and natural light in their relation to works of art. Isozaki's use of materials, especially the white, curved, fused- glass paneling...
