University of California Sociologist Harry Edwards, the theorist and leader of the black athletic revolt that culminated in open protest at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, emphasizes blacks' limited access to other careers and describes the process that follows. He told TIME Correspondent Edward J. Boyer: "With the channeling of black males disproportionately into sports, the outcome is the same as it would be at Berkeley if we taught and studied nothing but English.

He is an expert on the economics of energy, and will devote much of his time at the CEA to international, energy and environment issues...

Rauschenberg had read a TIME article about the pioneer abstractionist Josef Albers, the veteran of the Bauhaus who was teaching at Black Mountain College in North Carolina.
