Palestine Praise. One apparent beneficiary is a fellow Moslem, General Idi ("Big Daddy") Amin Dada of Uganda, whose army and air force were trained by Israeli military advisers, and whose country has received $25 million worth of Israeli aid and credits. Two months ago, after a fruitless mission to Tel Aviv in search of $10 million additional cash aid, Amin stopped off in Tripoli-aboard an Israeli-provided executive jet. Big Daddy emerged from conferences with Gaddafi to praise "the just struggle of the Palestinian people." After reportedly receiving a promise of $26 million from Libya once the Israelis were...

Brain Coral. The illusion of hardcore Dada, that art could change politics, never took root in him. With profound and wry dignity, Schwitters accepted the contradictions and limits of revolutionary art. Change art and you do not change the world, he admitted. But, he would have added, anyone must work for change with what he has, and all an artist...
