Last September they began a three-month meeting to work out the initial reductions on everything from lemons to razor blades and burlap. When the agreements were averaged out, they amounted to 27%, instead of the treaty-set minimum of 8%. At next August's meeting, the cuts may go deeper. Already two more nations-Ecuador and Colombia-have asked to join, and by August, the Latin American common market should include 86% of Latin America's territory, 81% of its population, more than 70% of its gross product, and 60% of its total trade...
...miles to San Manuel, where 70 peasant families work a landowner's 12,000-acre hacienda, in their off-hours tend their own tiny holdings. Tomor is trying to help the campesinos raise poultry.

The Modern Museum's exhibition is the first major show of assemblages ever held, and even at its most non and its most anti, it casts a certain spell...
Last week the new Miró paintings were on view in Paris' Galerie Maeght-to mixed critical reception. For the most part, the childlike "signs," the brilliant and charming fantasies were gone. In their place were some small paintings on burlap, priced as high as $16,000, which consisted of little more than a few black forms swimming through solid color. There was a whirling constellation, a burning sun-shape inside an amoeba-like splash, a few nebulous and milky canvases that were each rather uncertainly called "Painting...
