...session, but a meeting of legislative leaders supported the President. More varied reaction may come next month when the Senate considers ratification of the nuclear-nonproliferation treaty. Approval of the pact may well be delayed, but it is unlikely that the Senate will kill the agreement. One clue to Congress' attitude came from Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, who had been pressing for additional reductions in the U.S. Seventh Army in Europe. Further cutbacks "at this time" are not feasible, he said last week. His Republican counterpart, Everett Dirksen, suggested an embargo on trade with the Soviets. In the nation...
...Avignon. A subtly seething, 8-ft.-high panorama, The Birth of the World, says Rubin, is "in retrospect the point of departure in modern painting," making Miró "the major European progenitor of abstract expressionism." As is often true with Miró paintings, the title offers a clue. It is named for the way in which it was painted, for he re-enacted, so to speak, the first chapters of Genesis.

Our attack follows two lines of reasoning: checking out the names in order to make verbal contact with a planted clue, and comparing the song motifs to see if a specific time and place was delineated...
...final clue to the girl's location would be if there was a bank on that side of the river. This is derived from the title: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, which is anagrammatic for Lsd, which stands for pounds, shillings, and pence, which implies a bank. (We are indebted to Mr. Peter Stansky for this observation.) Unfortunately, my map of London does not show banks...
