Armand decided early to bombard his brood with the self-improvement lessons that most children congenitally abhor. Not Raquel. She devoured them. She was particularly enthralled by the ballet lessons that Armand thought would give her poise. What they did was give her ideas, which she now sentimentalizes. "I saw The Red Shoes ten times," she recalls. "I decided then that I wanted to be a ballerina." She has plenty of aptitude for the dance, according to her former teacher, Irene Clark, but hardly the proper spirit. "There was no humility in her approach to art," remembers Miss Clark...
...fact that since the parley with the North Vietnamese got underway last May, some 8,000 Americans and many times that number of South and North Vietnamese have died in the war. Both also know that, at least in the opening weeks, the Paris conferees can be expected to bombard each other with their favorite propaganda themes. Some pessimists in Washington, as a matter of fact, expect no major progress before midsummer. The bargaining, as Bunker put it in Saigon, will be "long, tough, complex and arduous." But at least there will be bargaining, and not just posturing...
...bombing be resumed throughout the North. But many top Navy and Air Force officials, in particular, felt that the U.S. was destroying more enemy supplies by concentrating its bombing on supply routes from the Demilitarized Zone at the 17th parallel to the 19th parallel rather than by trying to bombard the entire North.

...cross between a set from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Disneyland. Is it art? Directors of museums and owners of art galleries insist that it, and similar installations, are. The general term for them is "environments"; their aim is to box the spectator within a micro-universe and bombard him from all sides with wacky sights, weirdo sounds and otherworldly sensations, ranging from the feeling of weightlessness to hopped-up, psychedelic hallucinations. So popular with the general public have they become that dozens of contemporary museums and galleries feel obligated to display at least one major environment a year...
...savings in time and capital expense. Up to now, when glassmakers wanted to produce tints-even with a float process-they either had to shut down and convert regular lines or else build an additional plant. Under the new method, which cost $2.8 million to research and perfect, machines bombard the molten glass with microscopic metallic particles as it passes across the tin bath. With an investment of only $36,000, glassmakers can add the tinting process to a regular plant, color as much as desired bt the continuous ribbon of glass. Says Sir Harry Pilkington, 62, chairman...
