...brush. He dribbles paint onto a loose, unstretched canvas, swooshes it around, sometimes "kneads and hauls on the canvas as if it were sail." The triumph is that, even when dry, his canvases manage to look fluid. The colors float into view as if they had been poured like cream into iced coffee and for a moment were suspended. They merge or resist one another, but they are never smeared. To some of Jenkins' abstractionist colleagues they seem a bit too slick, but no one denies their flowing grace...
Negotiations will be held in the cream-colored Hotel du Pare, which was chosen mainly because its grounds can be easily closed off by the 1,000 French security police assigned to protect the delegations.

It advocates "cream of the crop" men and women, aged 20 to 30, who have specific skills needed in the host country. Unusually mature 18-year-olds would be acceptable, and also married couples if both had a skill. Applicants would have to pass severe screening, aimed at banning adventurers, dreamers, misanthropes and mercenaries. Corpsmen would get up to nine months' training, then serve two years.
