Tweedledum & Tweedledee. Given Romney's drawbacks, some moderates are shifting uneasily in their seats and looking elsewhere. Many an eye has fallen on Charles Harting Percy, 47, the junior Senator from Illinois. Percy is not trying to build a shadow opposition. He clearly aspires to higher office, but he would rather run in 1972, when he just might wind up in a Tweedledum-Tweedledee confrontation with Bobby Kennedy, who resembles him in many ways...

De Gaulle was saying, in effect, that France can get along very well without either NATO or SHAPE on its soil...
Goossen believes that art today is essentially in a transitional stage, that the last great style was the baroque, and that "contemporary art is merely the bricks and mortar with which art will build a new order when the time is right." He hopes that his students will be among the future builders. At least there will be no shortage of volunteers: in the past five years, enrollment in the graduate and undergraduate arts faculties at Hunter has jumped from...
