...newspaper editors of this state?" he asked in an editorial. "The very guardians of our intellectual outposts, the very men who should be sounding the warning against radicalism, import this poison to our springs and beg us to sit and sup with them. Birchites and Communists are probably bent upon the same goals, the main one of which is the destruction of confidence in our Government. I, too, consider myself a conservative. I stand for the old-fashioned principles of this country and will fight for them, but that doesn't include harboring Birchites or Communists or any other...

King Hassan II had just expressed complete confidence in the hawk-faced general, and angrily denied French charges that Oufkir had had anything to do with the mysterious kidnaping and supposed murder of Leftist Leader Mehdi Ben Barka.

The message to trigger-happy aggressors should be as obvious as that roadside sign: NORAD's invulnerable new mountain of preparedness guards some of the most impressive...
...HANS HAACKE, 29, follows the natural German bent for scientific phenomena. At 18, he painted boxy Bauhaus abstractions, but this art seemed too rooted in place. "We now know that there is nothing stabile. For centuries, people tried to convey motion. Symbols, snapshot representations, impressionism. All this was based on a convention everyone understood. But it was never the reality of motion. I want reality." Haacke made sealed Plexiglas boxes with enough water inside to evaporate in the sun and then drip in random patterns down the sides. Next he tried what he calls "hourglasses," something like stereo-kaleidescopes, which...
