...15th century, a work like Zoutleeuw's carving of St. Anne and the Virgin seems archaic, even naive. But it is a stunning design, the deeply cut folds, strict as metal, building up a system of pyramids that finishes in the smooth, serene, Gothic arch of St. Anne's wimple. By the 16th century the church was commissioning more elaborately naturalistic works. There is still a trace of Gothic rigor in the sweeping cloak of its lindenwood Mary Magdalene, but in all other respects she is almost a portrait, down to the look of pleased anticipation...
Violetta by Erich Hölle. 39 pages. Harvey House. $3.95. A svelte Belle Epoque horseless carriage rolls down through the century, from snug childhood as a famous racer to old age in a vintage car museum. Automotive anthropomorphism at its most arch, but well preserved...
While the political spectrum of the regular comic strips ranges from the moderately liberal (Pogo) to the arch-conservative (Little Orphan Annie), a relatively new phenomenon, underground comics, is pursuing radical political and sexual themes that their aboveground brothers would never dare to touch.

Kazarus reappears as an immigrant repairman and Melissa Mueller shows up again as Clea...
...Private Cold War As the black Mercedes-Benz limousine rolled through the Vatican's Arch of Bells early last week, Pope Paul VI himself stood waiting in the garden. When the car door opened, the Pope reached in to help his exhausted guest out of the back seat, then embraced him warmly. Paul led the aged man to an apartment in St. John's Tower and -in the ultimate gesture of papal humility-gave the pectoral cross and bishop's ring he was wearing to the visitor...
