...chief point of interest in the village of Beit Safafa, in the bare hills of Jerusalem, is the 2-ft.-high coil of barbed wire snaking down the middle of its main street. On opposite sides of the barricade, rifle-slung Arab Legionnaires of Jordan and rifle-slung border guards of Israel enforce the division day and night in the name of their jealous sovereignties. One day last week, all Beit Safafa was excited by the wedding of two of its children-Fatma Bint, 20, and Moussa Ayasha, 23, a gardener at the Belgian consulate in Jerusalem...
...abstractions, he believes, can only lead to pictures like Malevich's notorious White on White at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art. That canvas a white patch on a white patch, might be said to express the idea of purity except that it is too thin and bare to carry the weight of the idea; most people think it must be a joke.

Dictator Nasser seemed more concerned about the threat of economic sanctions than of armed invasion. His right knee jiggled constantly as he talked...
...long-jawed, loose-jointed giant sprawled inelegantly on the Dodger bench. Speaking with the authority of an eight-game winning streak and 33⅓ scoreless innings, Dodger Pitcher Don Newcombe reduced the game of baseball to its bare essentials. "I can say this," he announced with magnificent aplomb. "I feel fine, so there's no reason why I shouldn't win. But the best pitcher in the world can't win if his club doesn't get some runs. Give him a couple of runs to work on and he'll win more often than...
