...with Israel of a small United Nations peace-keeping force-which he had often in the past used as an excuse for not acting. With Israel threatening to invade Syria, he could hardly use that excuse again, so he made what could have been a good double play. To display his courage to his Arab brethren, he went through the motion of requesting the U.N. force to withdraw, expecting to meet considerable opposition...
Keeping the new art movements rolling is the Rhineland's newly prosperous postwar buying public, which is willing to splurge on experimental works. When Dusseldorf opened its stark $2,300,000 modern-art museum last month, the new Kunsthalle boasted not only an impressive display of 16 privately owned Picassos and Braques, but also works by Lichtenstein and Warhol-plus 17 works by contemporary Dusseldorf artists. The area's leading modern-art collector, aristocratic Frau Fann Schniewind, has amassed a $1,000,000 collection that runs the gamut from a white-plaster woman painting her fingernails...
...most frabjous funnyman in town is Claes Oldenburg, a prematurely balding troll of 38.

Pinky, tapping his feet and swaying into a sort of golfer's follow-through, plunged with intuitive flair and gusto into music by Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart and Tchaikovsky, and his broad, compelling tone filled up the hall...
...large, high-ceiling conference hall of Caracas' Palacio Blanco was crowded last week with newsmen and television crews. The government had hurriedly called a very unusual press conference. On display were two members of Fidel Castro's Cuban army: Manuel Gil Castellanos, 25, and Pedro Cabrera Torres, 29. Blinking in the glare of klieg lights, the Cubans were escorted into the room, one after the other, were briefly questioned by government information officers, and were then led away to a military prison...
