...waves. Giorgio Cavallon's career has been of this submerged kind. He is now 73, having been born near Vicenza in northern Italy in 1904, and he was one of the first abstract painters in New York in the 1930s, when painting abstract seemed automatically to consign an artist to ridicule and obscurity. In the '60s some of Cavallon's contemporaries, such as Milton Resnick or Lee Krasner, long written down as minor or fringe figures in the aesthetic star system, began to get their due; Cavallon is perhaps the last...
Bilateral Talks. Following its humiliating defeat, the government announced plans to hold bilateral talks with the opposition parties to see if any means could be found to save the devolution bill. But the vote seemed to consign the measure either to endless debate (only three of its 116 clauses had been considered in eleven days of discussion) or eventual abandonment for this session of Parliament. It drastically undercut Labor's position with Scottish voters and, though not a vote of confidence, raised the question of the Labor Party's ability to govern. For the first time since Prime...

...incorrectly added that it was "no accident" that Amin was chairman of the Organization of African Unity (O.A.U.). Moynihan thus in effect denounced moderate African leaders along with the infamous "Big Daddy"?a mistake that may have cost crucial votes on a motion to postpone, and thus possibly consign to oblivion, the notorious anti-Zionist resolution that the General Assembly passed in November (see chart...
...content with making the nominating procedure for non-student directors so arduous that of the several submitted petitions only one has ever been accepted, they now proceed to the ultimate solution: abandoning free elections altogether. Nothing could be more contrary to the spirit of cooperative enterprise than to consign the representation of 35,000 non-student members to a self-perpetuating group of ten stockholders. Even under the present by-laws, an outsider who wishes to run must have 100 signatures, which is ninety more than the incumbents need. And, as they point out, 374 votes may be a small...
