Farage's grinning response says it all. Every day Reform and its supporters reveal themselves for who they are and yet the media continues to treat them as just another normal political party.

On An Anthology of Chance Operations, accompanying the Getty's digital copy of their unique bound copy, Benjamin Piekut's illuminating introductory essay - it is well worth a read. www.getty.edu/publications...
The Scores Project: La Monte Young, ed.: An Anthology of Chance Operations (1962–63)
In 1960, La Monte Young was in his third year of graduate study in composition at University of California at Berkeley, where he represented a strange hybrid of beatnik counterculture and establishmen...

So, returning to M for Robert Morris, listed in the contents page and section page, of the 1963 first edition, but without any actual content - Morris having moved on from Maciunas and Fluxus. The Getty has a unique bound copy of the book including Morris's 1961 contributions, and here they are:
And we reach the end of An Anthology with La Monte Young's contributions
the 23rd contribution to An Anthology is by Christian Wolff

For the 1970 reprint rot's contribution was retitled white page with holes (comma deleted). (Black card here from Moma Silverman collection)
twenty-two is Emmett Williams I will reconvene next week with the final contributors, a revisit to Robert Morris and a few thoughts (...and if anyone is still interested I must think of my next favourite 60s book to treat in this way.)
And now no. 21 is Diter Rot and his black (actually white) page with holes
It's the bank holiday weekend so I am doing 20, 21 and 22 in one fell swoop over the next few hours today First up no. 20 is Terry Riley
As no. 17 was such a paltry offering Here is no. 18 : Simone Morris

and 15C the rest of that offering of Jackson Mac Low
Next is the bumper offering of Jackson Mac Low's 'indeterminacy' and more
