...mishmash of second- or third-rate work by famous names. The Rembrandt Juno is one of his weakest paintings -- large, flat and gross. The Rubens Adoration of the Shepherds may not be by Rubens at all; the Titian, not by Titian. The Leonardo pages, installed in a sort of dim mortuary chapel of their own, look ridiculously anticlimactic. The Impressionist work is as dull as could be. And, except for the Van Gogh and one early Gauguin, so is the more modern material. Only the Daumier holdings have any depth. One is left with the impression that Hammer...

Taylor, head of the 10,000-member National Patriotic Front of Liberia, took the hint and announced a unilateral cease- fire. But the prospect for fruitful negotiations remains dim: Taylor declared that his "government" was the only legitimate one and that he would "fight any attempt to install another one." The truce should at least afford some breathing space for the five-nation West African contingent, which has suffered from a confused chain of command...
...debate in the legislature turned tumultuous as delegates and economists rose to attack parts of all three economic reform proposals presented in the past week. The compromise supported by Gorbachev was criticized by supporters of both the other plans, and the chances of a broad consensus appeared dim...
