...strong American art collection. The Bicentennial has flushed American art out of storage and embellished it with historical dioramas, slidetapes and music in two shows, "Paul Revere's Boston" and "Valiant Upstarts." All the summer offerings are in American art. This includes folk art paintings which look like their creation were pshchics, magicians, or the forerunners of mad scientists, artists who delighted in optical distortions.

But his radicalism seems to be of an independent variety that would keep Portugal as distant from Moscow as from Washington. Many foreign observers believe Saraiva de Carvalho is essentially...
...Balcony, Beck considers his close associates: "He disliked Gunvald Larsson and had no high opinion of Rönn. He had no high opinion of himself either, for that matter." That is one of Beck's few mistakes in judgment. The dyspeptic, broody official is that rarest creation, an ideal policeman...
