After leaving on Tuesday, Carter was to stop first in Caracas. He will hold at least two private meetings with President Carlos Andrés Pérez. Topics are expected to include the Panama Canal treaties; human rights (Venezuela has one of the best Latin American records in that field); and undoubtedly, since that country is a member of OPEC...
...presidential palace since Giscard's election. They both agreed to come for consultations, as did Left Radical President Robert Fabre. Leading the rush to the Elysée were the heads of some of France's biggest trade unions, who had also been invited. They included André Bergeron of the 850,000-member Force Ouvrière and Edmond Maire, chief of the Socialist-leaning C.F.D.T., the 805,000-member Democratic Labor Confederation.

The fame of a star painter, Marcel Duchamp once shrewdly observed, depends on an inflation of small anecdotes. About Balthus, none are in circulation. At 69 he has no public face. When André Malraux made him director of the French Academy in Rome-a post Balthus held for 16 years until his retirement a few months ago-Balthus kept fastidiously to himself even as the secular cardinal of Villa Medici. His output is small. He rarely exhibits; Balthus' last New York show...
