...President, in public at least, maintained a stoic silence. Unlike Winston Churchill, who so hated his 80th birthday portrait by Graham Sutherland that he kept the original hidden until his death, Johnson cannot conceal the "ugliest thing" he ever saw. Hurd is putting the painting on public display this week in the Columbus (Ohio) Gallery of Fine Arts, and-thanks to its recent publicity-it eventually will be seen across the country. Meanwhile, the current wisecrack in Washington is that artists should be seen around the White House-but not Hurd...
...unlike those neoclassical memorials, Breuer's design calls for seven free standing walls, massive granite triangles each 60 ft. high at the apex, radiating from a central stone courtyard. Narrow pools of water run along the base of each wall; small contrariwise triangles beside the pools conceal spotlights. From the air, the monolithic walls appear to be the blades of some gigantic turbine.

Loan, like Ky, is a Northerner who went south after the 1954 partition. The two were fellow pilots in the Vietnamese air force, and when Ky took power last year, he promptly asked Loan to be his director of national security...
