...Knowledge of Death. Before Rome, Greene used to paint frozen tableaux that mirrored modern existentialist ideas. He trapped his figures-as in Sartre's No Exit-in shallow doorless and windowless spaces, amputated their legs, and left them relying on crutches. The Burial (see color) shows a legless living cadaver sprawled in a coffin, stifling back a scream with his hand-a scream that comes from "the pain of knowledge of that death in life which we begin experiencing early," Greene explains. Behind the coffin lid, a mourner gestures upward as if in hope. But his candle remains unlit...
...recently-molted cockroach sports a shiny new chitin shell, but he's still an ugly bug. The tower of education's "massive walls and large windowless areas" shone like alabaster in the reproduction. In fact they will be the familiar mottled red, broken most months by bare, scraggly Ivy vines. Before many years in the local air, the red will lose its luster, the mortar will turn dull grey...
...protests and legal actions against AEC. In 1959. Massachusetts residents, through town meetings and petitions to Washington, persuaded AEC to discontinue ocean dumpings off Cape Cod. The Long Island town of Islip last month rescinded the permit of a company that planned to erect a fenced and windowless waste-storage building in the town's new industrial park. And New Britain. Conn., for almost five years has been waging a court fight to block construction of a storage yard...
King is also accused of status seeking. He recently moved his Southern Conference headquarters into a predominantly white office building in Atlanta, where he puts up with segregated toilets and restaurants; in contrast. Snick's Atlanta headquarters is a windowless cubicle in an all-Negro district. King began to lose status with young Negroes last May when he failed to take a Freedom Ride into Mississippi. He lost even more last month at a civil rights demonstration in Albany, Ga., when he was taken off to jail vowing that he would stay behind bars indefinitely, then meekly posted bond...
Each morning at 8 o'clock, three briefing officers, microphones about their necks, stand under a 31-ft. battle screen in a windowless concrete building and crisply summarize everything that has been projected on that screen in the past 24 hours. One recent morning report indicated that NORAD had spotted seven Soviet aircraft tracks over Siberia, 17 unidentified planes above North America (each was checked as friendly within five minutes), 121 satellites and pieces of satellite debris in orbit around the earth, and 20 Russian trawlers cruising off Newfoundland's Grand Banks and the Aleutians...
