...space between Cooper and Askew was left blank by Avedon for Theodore Shackley, 47. Shackley was the CIA station chief in Saigon. He now heads the CIA's East Asia and Pacific Affairs Bureau in Washington. Others stood patiently for Avedon's camera, but last week few of them were pleased with the result. Said Bunker: "I didn't think the photograph was flattering." Said Berger: "The photograph and the story are absurd. It's not history, it's emotion. Of course I feel a sense of responsibility for Viet Nam, everybody does." Said Colantonio...
...Russell's tasteless hand-held camera is thrusting and jabbing, commanding us to feel the child's trauma. So of course we feel very little, which perhaps makes sense because Tommy is struck deaf, dumb and blind by the experience and soon reappears grown up as Roger Daltrey, blank-eyed and looking like the aftermath of a heavy night of smashing guitars in the days when The Who used to wear their coke spoons publicly around their necks, and rumors flew that thousands of dollars worth of the stuff was often consumed in one night...
...movie is blank, unimaginative -think of every joke you have heard about New York over the past decade and here it is-and Bancroft cannot make much of the bits and scraps she is given.

...exhibition, however, departs from this style. Kline is capable of using a few of his characteristic thick black strokes to suggest a face in Nijinsky. The same economy of line makes his more traditional drawing, David Orr's Mother, just as intriguing. Although most of the page is blank, Kline chooses lines that make the white areas play an integral role in the portrait. Guston, in Untitled, 1953, and Drawing No. 19 uses contrast in the quality of his strokes to create the illusion of depth in his shapes...
...Order Blank. At week's end, despite Israeli willingness to make further withdrawals in the Sinai, the Secretary had not received from Jerusalem a concrete proposal of concessions that he could put to Egypt's Sadat. At the same time, he had not heard from Cairo any plan that suitably compensates the Israelis for withdrawing troops beyond the Sinai passes. Israel would like Sadat to formalize remarks the Egyptian President made in Paris two weeks ago, when he told newsmen that neither Egypt nor Syria would attack Israel. Said Premier Rabin in a speech last week...
