Frantz PLACE: Mr. Levinson's office, New York City Tape 1 of 1 L: I'm sitting here on November 2, 1973, and we're all musing about the Watergate and the fate of the presidency and the questions of conflict of interest. We already read in the paper yesterday that President Nixon, in the midst of a major antitrust case, picked up the telephone and called the Deputy Attorney General and told him not to file an appeal. Later that order was countermanded, but it did illustrate presidential involvement in a matter before the courts, which brings me to mind about the philosophy of President Johnson when it came to pending matters before the courts, or before the regulatory agencies. Maybe by way of illustration, although I've said this somewhere before during this odyssey of conversations, Dr. Frantz, that we've been having the last couple of years, Jack Valenti did something that created a tremendous stir at the White House.

    COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION VIRGINIA MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS 200 N. Boulevard I Richmond, Virginia 23220-4007 www.vmfa.museum/pressroom I T 804.204.2705 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 19, 2017 VMFA exhibition to explore transformative power of jewelry, art objects The Rachel Lambert Mellon Collection of Jean Schlumberger to open February 10, 2017 Finding inspiration for his work in nature, the French-born designer Jean Schlumberger (1907-1987) created jewelry and accessories that transformed 20th-century fashion. The Rachel Lambert Mellon Collection of Jean Schlumberger at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, an exclusive new exhibition on view at VMFA from February 10 to June 18, 2017, will showcase a broad representation of jewelry and decorative objects from this innovative designer. Admission is free. Artist-jeweler Schlumberger (zhahn SCHLUM-ber-zhay) transformed 20th-century fashion with his creative designs for highly sculptural, vibrant and whimsical jewelry and accessories. He began his career crafting costume jewelry for the French surrealist fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli in 1930s Paris, before heading his own private salon at New York’s Tiffany & Co. beginning in the 1950s. Schlumberger was known for his imaginative interpretations of animal and botanical subjects that came to define mid-20th century chic. His witty designs for objects ranging from cigarette cases and pill boxes to brooches, necklaces, and bracelets were popular with some of the most celebrated and stylish women of the period. With 142 pieces, the exhibition celebrates the generosity of Rachel “Bunny” Lambert Mellon (1910- 2014), a noted horticulturalist, philanthropist, and longtime VMFA supporter.

It begins somewhere in the postbellum Southern United States where a group of Southern writers and theorists saw an inevitable change on the horizon and made the conscious decision to define themselves in the struggle against it. That inevitability was the spread and eventual globalization of industrial capitalism which had begun to creep into the American South bringing with it the threat of a complete transformation of the politics, the economy, and the identity of the region. Those who sought to slow or stop the invasion were engaged in a futile battle. The “Lost Cause” of the Confederacy had become the Lost Cause of the Old South – an idealized myth of the American South of generations past. It was a concept created through nostalgia, the very proclamation of which was the first 1 2 significant evidence of its passing.
