...reaction to Faisal's death. From Washington, Diplomatic Editor Jerrold Schecter and State Department Correspondent Strobe Talbott contributed to an analysis of how setbacks in Indochina and the Middle East may affect the future of the Secretary of State. The special section is illustrated by four pages of color photographs, including a remarkable picture of Faisal's simple sand-and-stone grave by TIME'S Eddie Adams...
...England 25 years ago, his images of ectoplastic businessmen and screaming Popes, based on such then unlikely-sounding sources as pioneer Cameraman Eadweard Muybridge's serial photographs of human and animal motion, a textbook on radiology, stills from Russian Director Sergei Eisenstein's movies, and an exquisitely colored handbook on diseases of the mouth, were seen as a Guignol of existential dread. Indeed, the scariness of Bacon prevented many people from experiencing his work aesthetically: the scream on the Pope, like the smile on the Cheshire cat, remained while the rest of the picture evaporated.

As a CIA cameraman filmed the proceedings in color and sound, the bodies were buried at sea from the Glomar Explorer, each neatly shrouded in canvas...
...bore is (happily) not yet. Apart from the delectability of his work, it becomes increasingly clear that Monet, whose painting life began in the 1860s and spanned almost 70 years, was as fundamental to 20th century art as Cézanne. Bonnard, Pollock and Rothko, not to mention every color-field painter who came out of an art school, lie cradled in Monet's woven strands of pure color. Consequently the Art Institute of Chicago's Monet retrospective of more than 120 paintings, which opened last week, is an event of real importance: the man has never been...
