...painted in Mallorca, after fleeing from occupied France, in 1940-41. MOMA has managed to assemble all of them -- a real feat of curatorial borrowing power. The recurrent shapes in these are two black forms -- the circle and a bow tie, or diabolo -- which overlap and dance in deep space in swarms, with uncanny and magical precision, alternating with other signs from his repertoire: eye, face, star, vagina, hairs, moon, bird. They are defined and linked by a wonderfully stringent and rhythmic play of black lines. These virtually define Miro's vision of cosmic unity, and they are a pictorial...

...have been the simple realization that Bell Atlantic has the financial clout to help him build his cherished superhighway. For all of TCI's vaunted size, a fellow cable operator noted before the deal, ''John's still not half as big as any of the regional Bell companies.'' So deep are Bell Atlantic's pockets that it announced a $1.04 billion investment in Grupo Iusacell, a Mexican cellular- phone company, the day before unveiling its plans to buy TCI.

Ever since the disaster, rumors have swirled throughout the country: that Chernobyl survivors could spread radiation like a contagious disease; that victims have been placed in lead coffins and buried in unusually deep graves; that vodka and red wine are effective antidotes to radiation. During a visit to Budapest, Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev told Hungarian factory workers, ''Chernobyl has warned us once again: man has set in operation a really fantastic force that must be strictly controlled.'' It was a telling message that surely reverberated last week through the lifeless silence of Pripyat...

...more unsettling question: Will the attempt to create a nuclear shield enhance stability or undermine it? In attempting to rid the planet of doomsday weapons, might SDI merely increase the risk of their use? At the TIME conference on SDI, it was apparent that there was a deep division within the Administration over the real aim of SDI. While he applauded Reagan's ''vision,'' Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard Perle bluntly stated that a leakproof Astrodome against missiles ''is not a short- term proposition, and it may not even be possible in the long term.'' Gerold Yonas, the chief scientist...
