Admittedly, this hope so stated is more abstract than the fading pictures of sky-born glory, of hallelujah choruses and throngs of waiting loved ones. "People today could be described as more realistic about death," says one psychiatrist. "But inside I think they are more afraid. Those old religious assurances that there would be a gathering-in some day have largely been discarded, and I see examples all the time of neuroses caused by the fear of death." Harvard Theologian Krister Stendahl agrees. "Socrates," he points out, "died in good cheer and in control, unlike the agony of Jesus with...
Laing's new works have lost such pop overtones. Their darting shapes are abstract, fragmentary, peripheral visions of speed. The human figure is gone. Some of his titles, such as Pennon and Gyron, derive from heraldry. As to who the knights of the road are in a society that builds automobiles in the backyard and reveres them as wheeled victories, Laing lets his work speak for itself: viewers staring into the chrome will catch a glimmering reflection of themselves...
Shaffer has not fallen into the trap of abstract debate, however. He explores his theme by dramatizing a segment of actual history-the Spaniards' conquest of Peru, and more specifically, the period 1529-1532 and the events surrounding the crucial confrontations between Pizarro the Conquistador and Atahuallpa the God-Become...

He is also president and chief executive of the St. Louis-based May Co., the third largest U.S. retail chain (64 stores).

The collection, priced from $3 to $6,000, went quickly. The sale proved once more that May, 51, has been right in doggedly upgrading what he calls...
...WHEN my eyes become dim with age and I shall not be able to see the world around me," wrote Boris Artzybasheff some years ago, "I can paint nonobjective abstractions and abstract non-objections." But until he died of a heart attack last July at 66, he did not cease to see the world around him. He resolutely refused to paint abstractions, tirelessly refining the unique style, sometimes bordering on the surrealist, that for over a quarter century he brought to more than 200 TIME covers. A sizable sampling of these original cover paintings, and more than 100 other Artzybasheff...
