...morning and constructed with the geometrical clarity of a Renaissance townscape, this was Miro's summation of memory. As its first owner, Ernest Hemingway, wrote, ''It has in it all that you feel about Spain when you are there and all that you feel when you are away and cannot go there. No one else has been able to paint these two very opposing things.'' It was Miro's power of recall as much as anything else that caused the Surrealists to adopt him. His art seemed to open a direct line to the repossession of childhood through unedited memory...
...offensive weapons when they need those weapons--and more-- to overcome burgeoning American defenses? Says former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger: ''By asking the Soviets to reduce offense while we pose to them the possibility of greatly increased American defense, the Administration has created a situation in which the Soviets cannot accommodate the U.S. even if they wanted to.'' The question of the hour--and of the coming months--is to what extent the Soviets might be willing to accommodate the U.S. in order to head off SDI. This possibility is sometimes called the ''grand compromise.'' Such a deal could accomplish...
...woman's right to have an abortion. Thomas Wade Moore Dallas I have been intrigued with Cuomo since his keynote speech at the '84 convention, when I considered him to have presidential potential. Now I am not so sure. Do we want another President who, like Jimmy Carter, cannot delegate responsibility or who, like Richard Nixon, reacts to criticism by feeling that he is under siege?

These may be attributes of past Presidents, but presidential attributes they...
...balk at setting a precedent.'' Many of those balkers come from Mexico's potential backers to the north. Former U.S. Ambassador John Gavin reportedly urged American bankers to withhold loans from Mexico until the country began to show signs of serious / economic reform. The Administration firmly maintains that Mexico cannot simply make domestic cuts, as it did during its debt crisis in 1982, but must swallow its pride and open itself up to more free trade and foreign investment. Said Senator Phil Gramm, chairman of the U.S.-Mexico Inter-Parliamentary Committee, last week: ''If they do what needs...
...researchers hope to develop small, inexpensive but highly accurate self-guided missiles known as ''smart rocks,'' which could home in on a rapidly moving missile or warhead and destroy it by force of impact. But if boost-phase kill is attractive, it is not easily achieved. Because infrared sensors cannot ''see'' around the curve of the earth, they must be in an orbit high enough to spy into Soviet territory. Some would even have to be fixed in geosynchronous orbit, 22,300 miles up. Smart rocks would also have to be launched from space in order to hit a missile...
