Summons to Moscow. Most impatient of all, it seemed, was Communist Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev. Last week Brezhnev ordered Dubček to report to Moscow with his personal list of Czechoslovak "counter-revolutionaries"-for comparison with Brezhnev's own. Under pressure from Brezhnev and his Kremlin colleagues, Dubček accepted the resignation of Foreign Minister Jiři Hájek, who defiantly demanded withdrawal of Russian troops before the U.N. Security Council last month. He was the third reformer of ministerial rank to be sacked (Deputy Premier Ota Sik and Interior Minister Josef Pavel preceded...
Leonine Shepherd. "These drawings are often surprisingly modern," observes Claus Virch, the Met's curator of European painting. "There is an expressiveness to them not found in the fresco." In some cases, a comparison of the sinopia with the fresco has revealed surprising differences. The sinopia beneath Andrea del Castagno's muscular St. Jerome [on this page and opposite] is no more like the finished fresco than the youthful Dorian Gray was like his aging portrait. The sinopia shows a handsome young man; the fresco, a gnarled and suffering ascetic. The difference is so striking that Princeton...
...days after the assassination of Martin Luther King last April, the rioting that swept American cities was almost as widespread and destructive as in all of 1967. Last year, 233 racial upheavals in 168 cities and towns caused 82 deaths, 3,400 injuries and 18,800 arrests.

Leaders among both blacks and whites feared that the emotional orgy of those few days would prove to be only a prelude to the nation's longest, hottest...
...rotting now and quite soon you'll disappear." Neither England, nor Osborne for that matter, disappeared, and today the Angry Young Man has taken to attacking new targets. In another open letter he complains, "I am exploited ruthlessly by the Iron Curtain countries, who steal my work" in comparison with the United States, where "the capitalist system has degenerated into a new era of squalor, ugliness, brutality and oppression." All these things considered, then, he admits that there "is some relief to be a worker, alive and well and living in London...
...political machinery on display. The symbols of ward politics waved like Bourbon banners against a tide of reform, but the party did stage a convention that was more open and more deliberative than any in memory. The passionless play put on by the Republicans in Miami Beach, by comparison, was a mere ratification process. Admittedly, the presidential nomination was never in serious question last week. But the party did engage in a candid, spirited debate on the Viet Nam question, and 40% of the votes went for the relatively soft plank recommended by a minority of the Platform Committee: even...
