...emphasis on bar and brothel belies the seriousness of the matters at stake. If the world is ever to achieve peaceful development, it will come more through the success of ventures like UNCTAD than through Nixon-Brezhnev talks. Until international trade relations have been established on an equitable basis, the tragedies of Viet Nam and Bangladesh will go on repeating themselves. A more incisive analysis of UNCTAD's failure would have been appreciated...
...Chilean central bank reported that the delegates changed an average of only $3 a day into escudos at the official rate. Meanwhile, the visitors brought a boom to Santiago's money black market, where dollars were exchanged for three to four times the official rate. A popular brothel located in a downtown office building reported its business up 50% during the UNCTAD meeting and had to add four women to its overworked regular staff...

Transfixing one in either aesthetic or emotional horror, the famous "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" (1907), flanked as it is by examples of the Iberian monumentality and primitivism Picasso assimilated into the savage proto-Cubism of his brothel scene, illustrates the creative process which brought him to his more mature forms of analytic art. The studiedly severe colors of his "Reservoir Horta" (1909) and "Girl with a Mandolin" (1910) show the progression from Cezanne's architectonics to the crystalline space-time continuum that was to break...
