Eric Martin combines a photographic process with his brush-and-ink self-portrait, symbolizing "the eye" as an artist conceives it.

Libby told the time (Sept. 14, 10 a.m. Eastern daylight-saving time) and place (North 890600 and East 635000 on the Nevada state grid system).

Chemist Willard Libby joined the AEC, and Theologian Amos Wilder is now on the faculty of Harvard's revived Divinity School. Last week Chicago lost one of the biggest names of all: Social Scientist David (The Lonely Crowd) Riesman, 47, whose colleagues have long sensed his growing frustration over a Chicago that seems no longer quite the daring place it once was. In 1958 Harvardman ('31) Riesman will return...
