American Impersonality. The Americans, such as Julian Stanczak, 35, who roomed with Anuszkiewicz while studying under Albers at Yale, try not to imitate nature. "I use visual activities," says Stanczak, "to run parallel to it" (right). There is even a U.S. group, impersonally called Anonima. Composed of three young men, Francis Hewitt (below), Edwin Mieczkowski (next page) and Ernst Benkert, who met at the Carnegie Institute of Technology and Oberlin College in 1958 and '59, they believe that the rule and the compass are proper artist's tools. Like other op artists, they dislike artistic preciousness, the expression...
...business affairs. The six brothers of the Braun-Menendez family, ranging in age from 55 to 68, meet in a paneled Buenos Aires board room under a portrait of their late father Mauricio. Around the table each in turn stands up to discuss the fortunes and policies of Sociedad Anonima Importadora y Exportadora de la Patagonia.

In 1895 Braun's eldest son, Mauricio, married Menendez' eldest daughter, Josefina; joined to romance was a practical mixing of land...
...Mafia was virtually immune from theft or attack. In those days the murder of a Mafia member like Nino meant only one thing-he had betrayed the organization. Lately, however, the once unquestioned authority of the Mafia has been challenged by a rival syndicate that calls itself Anonima Delitte-Crime Incorporated. In the past two years Crime Inc. has murdered 22 Mafia men. Result: a sharp drop in public faith in the effectiveness of Mafia protection and an increasing number of clients for Crime Inc.'s protection service...
