Obviously fearful that the Evian talks might sap the ardor of F.L.N. combat forces, Abbas last week broadcast a warning to Moslems in Algeria: "Negotiation is not peace. Everyone must realize that the colonialist forces have not disarmed, and that negotiations may be long and difficult."

There the name vaguely connotes new-rich wealth, a reputation for eccentricity, and an ardor for collecting art. Last week, in the German city of Diisseldorf, G. David Thompson was making headlines that could well give Pittsburgh pause. On display were 343 first-class paintings and sculptures from his fabled collection-and every single one of them was up for sale...
