Magic Flutist. By far his most thrilling public work was the commission, assigned him by France's Minister of Culture André Malraux, to redecorate the ceiling at the Paris Opera. This vast pantheon to music swirls with 2,153 sq. ft. of ballet dancers, firebirds and blossoms banked like clouds in hot Midi colors that triumph over the surrounding Second Empire gilt moldings (TIME, Nov. 6). In the mural he painted the face of his old friend Malraux-the gesture of a Renaissance artist paying homage to his patron. But as a grateful adopted son of France, Chagall...

Explosive Encounters. In inaugurating the Maeght museum, France's Minister of Culture André Malraux predicted: "When in a million years men stop by at this place, they will surely say, 'Something undoubtedly happened here which had to do with the spirit.'" Maeght hopes to make Malraux's prophecy come true. "From the very first sketch drawn, from the first stone laid," he says, "what came before all else was the spiritual climate to be created, not something dead where relics are kept, but a center of intellectual life away from the trite problems of daily...

On a table in the morgue lay a two-year-old boy caught in a crossfire, his stomach full of shrapnel; next to him was the corpse of André Rivière, a French soldier of fortune who was one of Caamaño's top aides.

...been able to do anything about reunification, and negotiate with Russia directly. The overwhelming West German sentiment is still that the country must stay with the U.S. and in the Western Alliance, but as Germany's frustrations mount, more go-it-alone talk will be heard. Says André François-Poncet, twice (1931-38 and 1949-55) France's Ambassador to Germany: "A country cut in two is monstrous, and as long as Germany is not reunited, there will not be real peace in the world." Or, for that matter, in the German soul...

...contrast, a Frenchman who fails to help another when he can do so without risk is liable for up to five years in prison and a $3,000 fine. The law's rationale, explained Sorbonne Law Professor André Tunc, is that a bystander "participates in the murder by his decision not to intervene." Similar laws are on the books in Britain, Germany, Italy and Russia. Surveys do not show that citizens of those countries feel any more like helping, said Chicago Sociologist Hans Zeisel.
