Secrecy kept her family safe... Will she risk it all for a chance at love?

Think "Roy Lichtenstein" and you probably conjure up comic strip-based paintings and the colorful dots that comprise them. Lichtenstein intended his now iconic depictions of characters in tense, dramatic situations as commentaries on modern man''s plight, in which the media--magazines, television and advertisements--shapes everything, including our emotions. Many of the same concepts behind the artist''s paintings apply to the significant number of prints he produced in the latter part of this life. Focused on works created from the mid-50s until his death in 1997, this exhibition catalogue gives a full overview of Lichtenstein''s printmaking accomplishments. Accompanying reproductions of the artist''s works are essays by two outstanding scholars: Dave Hickey, a MacArthur Award-winning writer on art and culture; and Elizabeth Brown, who wrote her thesis on Lichtenstein at Columbia University, under the tutelage of the late Kirk Varnedoe. Approximately 40 prints are illustrated in this elegant, intimately-scaled book, which highlights a specific body of work from one of the most innovative forces in post-World War II art.

Polyverse is just that: a verse of many forms and possibilities. Taking its cue from a wide range of modern and postmodern poetics - Gertrude Stein''s multiple formal innovations, Emily Dickinson''s condensations, the improvisation of Whitman and the Beat poets, the New York School''s intertwining poles of "the everyday," and the wild peripatetic leaps and innovation of "Language" writing - Brown''s work enacts an exciting and suggestive poetry of possibility.

Over the three decades of her career, Kiki Smith has experimented with photography as a working tool, a means of personal expression and simply as a medium in which she can explore space, composition, colour and texture.

The 3:15 EXPERIMENT comprises the results of an experiment in which the four authors rose at 3:15 A.M. every day in the month of August from the years 1993-2000 and wrote. Some poems, some prose, some dream-drenched euphoric scrawl, some devine journaling recording the weird magic of that middle hour. "In 1994...I was awake at 3:15 almost every night all August. This writing-by-alarm is one out of a large -- infinite? -- bag of tricks. The self outside the self. To get ourselves to pay attention differently, unawares" -- Jen Hofer. "The book is full of marvelous ''good times'' as well -- with language, zones, emotions & political conventions... -- the stuff & dross & excitement of existing experimentally in the minds of four exceptional writers" -- Anne Waldman.

College and university efforts to address minority students'' needs are described. The Minority Achievement Program (MAP) provided grants to selected colleges to test a range of programs and services to help certain student groups succeed in achieving their educational goals. Descriptions of 10 selected projects are provided, along with information on the school''s enrollment and the amount of the award, which ranged from $2,145 to $9,000. Information is also provided on the purpose and findings of an evaluation of MAP. The evaluator, Herman Blake, considered common elements that led to success/failure of the MAP-funded activities, and based on individual projects offered conclusions on how colleges can best address minority students'' needs. Four conditions that significantly affected project outcomes were identified: institutional commitment, program leadership, program conceptualization, and faculty involvement. In addition, these criteria were applied in evaluating the 10 selected projects. Six of the 10 projects were strong in all four areas. The other four projects, which had weaknesses in one or more of the four critical areas, were determined to have less successful outcomes. Recommendations for campuses and funding agencies are included. (SW)
