...show also offered a delicate "texturol-ogy" by Jean Dubuffet-a painting that looks at first like a piece of kitchen linoleum but then turns into a vision of outer space. The thick black crisscrossings of Pierre Soulages nicely complement Hans Hartung's "psychograms," which try to portray emotion through tapered lines of pure force...
Amid the melodrama, Golden Child occasionally achieves a sort of folksy universality. While much of the time the score becomes overwrought and the lyrics contrastingly simpleminded, the two collaborators-both members of the State University of Iowa faculty-complement each other remarkably well. Poet-Professor Engle, who heads Iowa's top-rated writing workshop, had joined with Associate Professor of Music Bezanson before on-among other works-a set of tenor songs based on the poet's collection, The Word of Love. Although they would like to try another opera, they would not want to start next time...

Nossal of the Toronto Globe and Mail (circ. 226,000), Nossal joined a corps of foreign correspondents distinguished mainly for partisan reporting. Indeed, of Peking's 25-man complement of visiting newsmen, only two others-both wire-service men, one from Agence France-Presse and one from Reuters, Ltd.-are of the non-Communist press. After reading thousands of words of Nossal's copy, his hosts expressed themselves as more than satisfied with the new visitor. Conferring on him the distinction of being the Western Hemisphere...
